option for cold air intake for mpi turbo what do you think?

[yamamarc]

I removed the snorkel from the side panel that was directing air to the clutch! to hopefully get cold air to intake!! What do you think...bad idea?

 

[yamamarc]

Just went for a ride to test
+4 c outside and intake temp was 32c
28c difference from outside temp
Is that normal or better?

did not make much difference on mine. This does however make a great difference. Outside temp is now the intake temp.

Haha I wanna do the outside intake but I'm being a scared bitch..lol to cut cab!!!
Is it a big enough difference to do it???
I was looking at side and the extension tube for intake and I looks like I can go threw side panel instead off cab

outside for sure...way colder and looks so good...just cut the black slotted vent area.

Just like InRBigness and yamahaguys, mine is outside and the temps are usually within a couple degrees of outside air temp.
Just do it already

It makes a huge difference in intake temps. Don't go through your side panel, it will be a pain every time you take the pannel off. As mentioned above, go through your black vents. I just slowly took material away with a dremel tool.

[yamamarc]

Didn't your MPI kit come with a Frog skin type sock for your air cleaner?

Yes the logo is on back side I took pictures while installing it's turned now ..with logo facing out

I was talking about cutting out the rest of the black plastic vent I cut to pass intake threw and putting Frog skin in the opening around the pipe in the vent opening
