My knowledge on this car is so far only about surface-deep. I haven't had any time to even crawl under it yet.
My point is that you have to have a sealed air path from the outside to the throttle body; some of the posted photos show open filters, which are going to suck in hot air with out that seal, losing HP. Most of the jury rigged attempts at this we have see leaked air like a sieve......
