Fantastic effort Lee, not sure I approve of your denim seats - hope they're not in the Evo :)

good work with the intake :)

can I ask why you decided to lose a headlight for it rather than an intake on the bonnet?

looking good Lee, lovely finish

have you monitored the differences on intake temperature?If so, how much? :)

as u can see the air box is so close to the headlight it was the only real route the actual factory air scoop is only anygood if u have the rare intake system i think!

Lee - I have just gone down the charge temp monitoring route myself and there are various ways to do it using k-type probes into the airflow or better still into the inlet manifold to give a true charge temp reading.

I decided on the latter with a SPA Dual boost and temp gauge showing me the charge temps.

I log intake temperatures using an OE sensor output from the ecu, but you may be able to fit a probe in there aswell if there isnt a factory sensor. Charge temp is the real temp that you need to know as the colder it is, the denser the air is and then a bigger explosion (big caviat ....in my limited knowledge :) ).
