I also noticed here that there is one owner who has g3's and has the same temp fluxuation as most of us do. So how or why is it benificial for the g3's in comparison to short ram air intakes? Please no character assasination, I might be missing out on a very valuable point but just want some clarification before I pull the trigger on modifying my intake systems. One is sucking from outside the engine bay and one from inside, but we all have collant lines running through the throttle body so that does warm up the air before going into the plenum. So clarification would be greatly appreciated.

No conclusions, yet. I'm waiting for a friend's daughter to insulate the spare air ducts I bought, but school and boys are slowing her down.
I would think that pulling cooler air from outside the engine compartment would be better.
From what I have read, yes, the TB coolant lines will warm up the air. If I can figure out a good way to measure the air temperature after the TB, I will collect that data also.
