I definitely need a cold air intake to do the other stuff..

This is what I worked on this weekend. Dimensionally it's exactly the same as the current setup on the airbox, but without the airbox. That said, going back to what I posted earlier about the sound muffler, it's kinda pointless really. Still I'm going to print it out on my 3D printer and see how it works out.
The intake pipes for the N20 motors look to use the same size intake diameter and "clip" attachment for the turbo, it may be possible to use one of those to "delete" the sound muffler on our cars. I'm looking into it to see if it's possible.

I actually surfed around the web after getting the car and tried to find a universal billet Alu MAF sensor housing that could work on this motor (a common aftermarket mod on many platforms..) but couldn't find anything that would accept this particular Bosch MAF sensor we have. That was the kicker. Otherwise, not complicated to use some silicone pipe, bends, and the adapter to DIY an open intake.
I may buy this Cravenspeed piece and experiment with it. Possibly put some of that gold mylar reflective tape on the rear sides of the heat shield. I think that it's going to get hot no matter what, though.
Thanks for sharing.

I've definitely noticed a reduction in intake air temp on the ScanGauge. It's not a scientific proof but where I was running 25+ degrees above ambient I'm now down below 20 degrees above.
The one thing I haven't noticed is a significant increase in sound level (which is just fine with me). I have taken a couple of redline runs in first and second with no objectionable increase in intake noise. I've got the same type of set-up on my 911 and she really barks when the pedal is floored.
I really like the fact they use a genuine, washable, K&N filter element and (despite the possibly faster rise to temp) the fact the parts are aluminum and not plastic.
YMMV
