I was going to make a custom CAI for the comptech, but i wont have room with my stock fans: so i was going to put a mushroom filter directly on the supercharger.

Will it be getting too hot of air compared to the stock icebox?
I have to do this beacuse of intercooler pipe routing.

 

lots of people have done the mushroom on the supercharger unit..

 

this might help
sorry for crappy iphone pictures

 

I will probably do something similar myself... probably a mushroom directly bolted on to the intake of the SC... lots of people have done it...

 

i cannot do this as my intercooler pipeing goes into the fender like inlinepro's. I was going to make a cold air that went straight down, and turned into the passenger bumper well: like most N/A setups, but the fan is too big to fit a 4in pipe...

I was just worried about it sucking up hotter air then where it was originally and negating the whole point of the intercooler.
I doubt it can be that much different though, just wanted to see.

For those that have used the mushroom filter, does it fit without hitting the fan shroud?... this is the one i would use

also the vortech seems like it sits back way further than the comptech, and has more room from the fan

 

Surely this is worse for performance due to heat and encapsulation of air, though not so much as on an n/a S2009

 

i am using a 3.5 inches from summitracing.com.
not 4 inch the 4 ain't fit..
