I have been thinking about a cold intake as well. None avail as a package as I know. Any ideas? You can run tubes from turbo inlets to stock radiator inlets and fit cone filters in front of radiator maybe.

VRP made their version of this and called it the "scorpion intake".

Two V12TT owners (an SL65 and CL600) have claimed to have seen 40hp on a dyno with the RENNtech C/F airboxes.

The Scorpion Intake was developed in conjunction with the monster VRP intercooler cores. So I think in theory the hot air coming from the air intakes would be cooled later on down the line. I guess the more air/exhaust volume the turbos have access to, the better.
