Here's my modified Odula V-SPEC V-mount-kit (with Koyo N-flow radiator):
More pictures from the build can be found in my gallery.
Water temp at 79 degrees Celsius and intake air temp at 21 degrees Celsisus on highway at 110km/h with outside air temp at ~14 degrees Celsius.
No ducting yet.

it did 325 at the fly on a dyno-dynamix dyno with the above setup, during apexi PFC mapping and builds boost fast, profec b capped at 0.85bar, good strong power curve and goes pretty good on the track - its been fine like this for nearly 6 months - can you explain the "more harm" comment?
i appreciate it is a large v-mount but it is a precursor to a large single setup i'm planning.

I cant see if i posted these here or not so heres my setup. The intake isnt pictured in this shot ill update later with finished shots. The intake sits right next to the V-mount on the passenger side and breaths cold air off the front of the bumper through a KNN panel filter.
The goal was to get something setup that would be OEM bolt in with little or no modification, to be modular (entire radiator/fan/IC setup can be removed in 10 minutes and by removing 6 bolts).
Results in the winter were a 12F above ambient average.
More pics later when I get around to it
Still be done, a Upper plate and more thorough ducting up front, although that may not be necessary.

Theres another inch that you cant see thats there.. its a 2.8" core roughly, so its small in terms of big HP core, but no the temps are pretty constant for my climate (AZ). In the winter they will stay 12-14F above ambient. Haven't really summer tested it at all.
