It’s not missing anything. That’s how it came. This type of intake sacrifices some low speed heat in the name of cool turbo noises and a lot more available airflow. I have datalogged this and so far it’s only hotter when moving slowly or sitting still. Driving at speed and flooring it tends to bring intercooler temperatures down to nearly ambient and intake temperature not much warmer than that.
Cool. One thing I don't seem to hear with this truck is anything turbo related. I have had two mildly modified supercharged GM 3800 W-Bodies and the S/C whine under full throttle was addictive, especially after installing the CAI, nevermind the acceleration
I’m working on manufacturing an open intake that is bigger, shorter and louder than this one. This one is quite loud though and so far it’s been the only way I have gotten good turbo noises that I like. This video kinda captures it.Cool.

My truck gets used for product testing and tune development. It’s been apart or reconfigured many times over.
Ah explains it.
I have considered this, I wonder if the ecu could control the fans with the electronic original clutch fan system.
Well, that's one possibility I suppose.
The a/c needs to have control of the fan as well. If you run an electric fan system as a stand alone, there will be some idle stability issues from the ecu not being able to control and anticipate the electrical load. It won’t be able to turn off at certain speeds either which might become problematic too. Also I’m sure the check engine light will be a problem that way.
yeah pretty much why I never bothered to seriously look into it unless someone else did the dirty work.
Not sure what you mean.
The air "box" with the seal gasket, which I'm sure you answered first thing in this thread.
