Alright I'm sorry i was rushing alot the other day, but ive figured out my confusion. The grille was never meant to have an IC just a filter. And this would cause a Ram-Air effect, found on pontiac firebirds and grand ams.

I see this as more efficient, because the air moving under the car is accelerated, but once it's reached up into the engine bay it becomes distorted and all of the air isn't instantly going in through the filter, While when you take air directly in from the front, it rams all that air into the pipe which, in turn, would force all of that air into the air inlet on the turbo. I suppose then any air coming in the traditional way can further slightly cool the turbo as the air is flowing around it during acceleration.

I've consulted my father, and a few other car tuners that i know and they don't see why this wouldn't work. I understand it won't be any huge super-significant increase in power, but it should be an increase none the less.



And i dont need to go to howstuffworks or do any research . I'm just a stoner and i was watching family guy as i did this the other night..

All i essentially wanted was some feedback, so go at it!
