Remove Cool Air Duct?
I was thinking of removing the cool air duct. I thoght it would prevent stealing air from the intercooler. Think this is a good Idea? Should I close up the hole in the intercooler duct?

Let me know

That duct only goes to the stock intake box. If you have an after market intake it is probably not doing much for you. If you are still stock I think i'd recommend leaving it. either way not a big deal at all.

The opening for the airbox is right on top of the radiator, it will suck alot of hot air. It would be better just to keep it as is.
