cold air intake on turbo
Would a cold air intake be overkill on a turbo'd car? With an intercooler is a cai just a waste or even worth it? Would it hurt performance because of the longer intake pipe? By the way I own a Mazda 323 GTX...rare and fun car. Thanks

Re: cold air intake on turbo (Nigel379)
Yes a cold air intake will help your performance. The lower the temp of the air the turbo is getting, the less you'll have to cool it afterwards. The turbo will also no longer be sucking in the warm air in the engine bay, which is allways a good thing. Remember that the cooler you keep the air the better.
Coincidentally I also have a 323GTX.

its true, its cuz they use a mass air flow sensor.

This is like, way wrong.
Mass air flow and speed density cars both will fully compensate for any changes in air temperature.
