Basically, it will T off the filter box and have one hose towards the cat, the other towards somewhere for outside air (maybe straight down through the plastic engine pan I made). Inside is an oval plate (similar to throttle plate) that will be used to adjust the amount of hot or cold air the intake sees. For now, it will be manual, but I'd like to program it ultimately. Probably do target 120*F intake, but go full cold on WOT and high engine temps for performance and safety. I'm happy to share these plans, though I haven't printed it yet to prove it works as I theorize.

Anywho, that's my latest.
Can I pay you to print me some stuff with ABS? I'll take multiples of the following:
- Grill block adjuster thing
- Spoiler fix blocks
- Trunk latch actuator arm fix thing
- And one OBDIIC&C case

It's hard to find people on IC who do this, lots of times whoever started making something moved on by the time I post. Get me via PM here or on IC.
