One of the most appealing parts of my '82 928 is the attempt to make the air intake a bit like a "ram air" affair. OK, so there is no direct connection to the outside but the attempt seems sincere. And when I look at the air intake setup on a '77 924 a not-so-very-different system exists to assist with cooling. So, me wonders, why didn't the later 924s employ a similar system for intake? I know that space appears to be an issue but given the alternative--a system that sucked water and required an eye-patch (as it were) fix along with the cutouts just waiting for a hose and, well, there it is.
My question then is: has anyone ever moved their intake the top of the rad like the 928? I know that K&N has been a popular replacement but that's not ram air and isn't ram air a good thing?
