Where do you live? Does it get cold where you live? Gains are probably minimal. Don't even think about this mod unless you live in an area that is always warm.

I did it about 6 months ago and temps got down around 0 degrees, never saw any problems....I think that the cold weather thing is a myth.

And you also have to wonder why we ALL want to add CAI to our MAX just to run the cold air through a HOT TB, eh?
