Cabin air,vac gauge

Cabin air; I saw a baja piece that mentioned it(on a Taco), and it made sense.To do it, requires a little "fast and loose"with components;Lowe's. Cabin air is air is clean, and cool-comparetively speaking.My cold air uses SPECTRE tubing pieces,a "y" to the fender well vent, with the second filter(in the same enclosure over the fender well)connected to cabin air via a supply made with a 2 1/2 hole cutter, and a SPECTRE flexible vent tube into a rubber plumbing sleeve, and flange backed adapter screwed into the firewall(and siliconed).It gets loud when you get on it, but its a good loud, I put a restrictor(from a 4-6" rubber plumbing adapter)so most of the pull would come through the cone nozzle end instead of the filter cone "sides".I 'll send a pict of the set up when I figure out how to do that....anyway it seems h2o proof so far, and cold air is only "cold air" if the incoming air is cooler than the ambient temps.This may help compensate for the A/C i HAVE TO RUN 3/4 of the time(Louisiana) but it definately helps for some quick seat o the pants feel, especially if you kill the A/C during the accel. The vacuum gauge theory holds true, WHEN i HAVE THE DISCIPLINE TO STAY OFF THE ACCELLERATOR!!!!!!I have an automatic, and find that I need to manually shift down at times to keep the vacuum up.
