cool, you modified the snorkel?

the more I think about it, the more I think that the air filter might be the culprit. relative to the rest of the intake tract, the air passes through the filter slowly. that would give the filter the opportunity to heat up from radiant engine heat and, in turn, heat the air as it passes through the fine filter element. I bet that oil on the aftermarket air filters gets even warmer. solution is, as posted previously, to locate the filter outside of the engine bay like jfro, or actually in the rear quarter like the bgb/fabspeed unit for caymans.
