I guess my concerns for insulating the intake from underhood heat is more for what I have in mind for future mods.

I was hoping to combine your product with either:

1) a method of ram-air, or cowl induction (as yet undecided) such as a future product from Joe Black or Wormgod, etc...

2) as you did with your Axiom...venting heat out of the Underhood area and (hopefully) sucking in cooler air via the intake which would be insulated to allow the air to remain cool by not transferring heat from nearby components such as radiater..hose...engine.

3) putting a heat shield of some sort between the air filter and the engine (see photo below) to entice a cooler zone and having that air stay cool as it makes its way to the engine:
I completly understand, i too looked into building an airbox type partition for the filter but decided against it just because i don't believe it would really make that much difference when the turbo is installed. And by the way my intake will be for sale as used when i get the turbo up and running. It really would not be that hard to make mine a true ram air setup, all i would need to do is build a catch box that sealed against the hood and then a different filter design into the intake. Oh well i think i will go for the real forces induction soon.;Dr; ;Dr; ;Dr;
