since Silver Streak must be an air gulper, where do you think it gets intake air from? The intercooler is in the old intake scoop location, and all i see is that little snoot/trumpet grabbing wht it can get.

Look's like the Turbo blow off valve to me. They must have put the air intake underneth the car no room in front, easier to feed the Turbo at the back of the engine.

The BMP turbo MCS uses a variation on the stock airbox for an intake. It is painted black and visible in the right side of this pic:



The silver horn is the BOV.

the black air box is a prototype at this time but their upsomming permanent solution is a good one.
