Thats awesome. I might look into that for my setup this winter. Is there a bennefit to venting as opposed to recurculating the air? Oh and btw... you car sounds AWESOME, I love that whine it has.

I actually had it circulating before. But I changed it when I altered the way the air filter / intake was positioned in front of the blower. Once I removed the tube that it was connected to, I saw no reason to leave it damgling there so I just vented it under the car. It also keeps it from recirculating hot air that has already passed through once. I know it's not a major difference, but every little bit counts

So basically it was done just to clean up teh engine bay, and it was done when I relocated my air filter to pull in cooler air. But like I said, that bitch is LOUD when in the higher RPM range. I may see if I can quiet it down a bit

I have a regular procharger bypass blowing off into the air with a blow through mass air meter. Opposite of what was said earlier you actually have to run a blow through mass air if you blow off into the air, with a draw through mass air you have to recirculate.. .

Here is a video of me jackin around.. you can hear it every now and then here...
