I don't believe this , my PC crashed an hour or two ago, it would'nt let me do a partial recovery so i had to do a full one, which meens reseting the PC back to the condition it was when i brought it, i've lost shit loads of stuff, the photos are gone as earlier i cleaned some of my photobucket out and forgot that it effects the pics on the post, what an ass i am sad.gif .
Iwill take a pic tomrrow to show where i've run the pipe from and to, sorry for the cockup.
This will teach me not to save to disks.

KB, stop being a pussy and take the manifold off. Takes about 45 minutes mang, it's EASY.
As for the rest of it, you don't "Feed cold air to a CAI", a CAI SUCKS IN COLD AIR BY THE NATURE OF IT"S NAME. If your intake isn't sucking air in from outside the engine bay, you don't have a CAI. You have a WAI, or a Ram Intake.

I know, but I'm holding out for a new one so I only have to pull it once. I'm lazy like that cool.gif

Hahaha yea i doubt you can make cold air cooler, you're either getting cold air or not. In temrs of moving things around, you have to remember that pressure causes your air to heat up more than anything (hence an intercooler with forced induction) so making it cooler until it gets through your CAI and the pressure drops in the manifold will only benefit slightly. Obviously the huge temperature difference between a Ram air intake and a CAI helps but like redz said the best way to improve the performance is make sure your CAI is getting air from outside the engine bay.

Actually, what I said is the ONLY thing that is a CAI is something getting air from outside the engine bay. Otherwise you are just ducting cooler air to a WAI or short ram.
