Clan, I've always had a deep respect for your posts, you've taught me a lot of stuff. But on this, I cannot agree. Tiny corrections is all it takes for air temperature, and everybody knows engines prefer cold air - the colder it is, the more fuel you can burn. It's why turbos need an intercooler. And you've ignored my explanation regarding the brutality of the valve involved. This isn't there to stablise air temperature during running, it's just there for cold starts. You might remember the "summer/winter" positions of the old carburated air-boxes, this is the same thing just automatic.
Adding to that, I've been driving aroudn without one for years, without any difference at all.
Anyway ... respect. I just don't agree. But hey! :-)
