I have a bunch of parts in my garage to do a Modshack-style ducting job to bring outside air directly to the Gen 3 filters, we'll see if it makes any difference. I don't plan on trying to seal over the filters like he did though, I'm just going to route the tubing to dump cold air right on top of them.
Check out my DIY for ducting. I think your on the money as far as dumping air infront of the filters. There's all that dead space in front of them, forcing all the air that supplies the car to come from behind.
