And unless you're sitting still, intake temperatures aren't much different than a CAI would be. While driving down the road my IATs are 5-10 degrees above ambient.



Thanks for the reply...I'm really looking forward to it!

Ah, come on. No one has seen PCU? You probably all know Jeremy Piven, John Favreau and David Spade. Best college movie ever.

Just an FYI, the CP-E SRI won't fit on the NA 3. Different sizing on the throttle body for some strange reason.

Also because the Speed engine has the intake attached to the turbo inlet and the NA 3 doesn't have one of those. :P

Just make sure you have air straighteners in there.

I'm a CAI guy so I'd pick CP-E or the Mazdaspeed (AEM) kit
