I put some yarn on my rear hatch opening (about 4" below the top). The air clearly exits through the rear opening. So where does it come from? It comes from below the engine area. Passing through around the engine and headers. Even if you leave the rear quarters open ( I did), it makes only a marginal difference. The cold air must be ducted in to benefit from a much lower charge temp.

Thanks Will. That's very useful information. We'll see what I've got when the new mill is in the car. There's plenty to do ahead of that but given the similarities, sounds like I'll have an additional project in my future.

Best,
