andymot, your scoop looks really well, it looks like a PA sound system horn tweeter:)
I had tried a similar configuration but just with a pipe connected to the filter box and without the scoop. My impression was regarding my try without the scoop that the car revs a bit more freely without the additional pipe but she is significantly faster at higher speeds in 5th gear with the pipe introduced..
Can you tell me where to purchase the scoop?
For the future I could think about a long pipe to the TB which is not longer than the original one but it could possibly run at the side of the engine near the intake manifold and not above the engine.
Anyway I believe that the cold air from down and then streaming up is more efficient than air from above the radiator.
