Looks good. Shame the site hasn't been updated for 3 years.

I don't like his air intake. open induction over the hottest point in the engine bay doesn't seem too clever. Perhaps more efficient to either duct the inlet to the front or replace the cone with something like a CDA?

It doesn't really apply with forced induction as much, especially considering he has an intercooler.

Still inefficient. If the cold air feed produced cold air then the intercooler should chill it further. In this case the engine is ingesting hot air for no point and reducing intercooler effect for a simple fix of a foot of ducting.

Forced induction systems generate a load of heat..the compression itself and friction from the ducting, You don't want to add to the load. The cold air feed on mine comes in under the nearside wing for exactly that reason.

I agree with you completely, it would definitely make a real difference if you were running the engine on full boost and to race specification, but as it is just a road application and not competition use you can compromise.
Although, personally I wouldn't
