Secondly. look where your turbo is. its right infront of the raidiator... and where does all that hot air go? it doesnt dissapear after it goes through the raidiator. it goes right past the turbo. and thats not to mention the reduced air filtering capabilitys of this crap ass filter. Third. the factory intake is a cold air intake, i dont know why anybody would put something like this on there car if they allready have one.
