I have a turbo kit on my car already. So to hell with the warranty. Since its an easy mod, and I live in a really hot/humid climate, I don't have to worth about the throttle sticking.

Ehh even if its 1 hp, every little bit helps.

Also, due to the fact that this interests me:

It'd be nice to see a scion test it out lol. I have too many things left to buy yet :p

So I don't plan on buying that CO2 system yet.

Maybe when I do, i'll post up a dyno.

One point to address is that you IAT is in the MAF. Meaning with the coolant lines attached, the air is actually hotter when entering the engine than what the MAF is reading, in return, giving an inaccurate reading and the engine may be running slightly rich. This may result in loss of power. I would say this is a great mod to do:

1)Decreases intake temps
2)Actual IAT = that of MAF
3)Cleans up engine bay
