1 - I assume this is click bait as you're just suckong hot air into the engine... 2 - unless you have an air diverter on your bonnet that fits around the intercooler, you have next to zero air flow through the intercooler rendering it pretty much useless.
Nope, not clickbait. Please follow the link in the description for the data behind it. The Mini Cooper S has a hood scoop direct in front of the intercooler and air intake, in other words there is no shorter path from ambient air > air filter > throttle body and that is the idea behind it. The least restriction.
Check the results which were measured in the thread on MBWorld. Even though that also would be my first guess, the results are very interesting. If the car is moving the incoming air does not have a time to heat up extra in the engine bay (only by the supercharger), meaning the IAT can be the same as with a normal intake. When the car is stationary, then the incoming air has time to heat up extra before its sucked into the airfilter.
Yes would 100% only recommend when moving but for long periods that will be an issue. I have a k&n typhoon mounted into the back where the stock is with a cut out and it makes the supercharger very loud. Probably a better bet
@@ryanclarke4448 Depends on your personal preferences. In the end I went with a bigger throttle body and created a custom intake with a big airfilter. Picture 1: flic.kr/p/2kPhRQt . Picture 2: flic.kr/p/2kHaM3W
I know that some people do have bad ideas about upgrades, but a trained monkey wouldn't do what is shown on this video. Why would you even post such junk. At least run it to the bottom part of the box so it's not right next to a big heat source. Then if you still want more air put a vent in the hood.
Please read the info in the description and follow the link. This has been investigated with data and feels counterintuitive, but again: follow the link in the description.
That is just dumb

Nicht gut. Motor bekommt zuviel Warme Luft besser im Kasten lassen und die hintere Luft ansaugung vom Filter Kasten größer machen . LG
