    After lots of reading I changed my setup again. Some folks said they saw a 1psi pressure drop after adding a Airflow America Snorkel on a TRD Charged Tacoma. I never saw any drop whatsoever. I did notice a decrease in throttle response switching to the stock box (w/ AFE Panel Filter). Some folks claim the supercharger can breathe enough through the snorkel. Sooooooo I bought the Airaid CAI because i figured it would fit into the snorkel outlet in the fender...after a little modding I got it all together and even added the infamous "deckplate" mod in case I feel like the intake is struggling for air...then I would have two sources of inflow! I still hit 6psi boost and feel a increase in throttle response. My goal with the snorkel isn't to submerse my truck in water but to use it as a source of ram air. Well enough chat here's the pics.

    I'm having serious doubts about the snorkel serving as a "ram air" feature. If anything it has to turn enough corners that it is probably losing velocity by the time it gets to the airbox. Just my .02 looks cool either way.

    Curious now many months later how you are liking the setup? I'm tentatively doing the research how the S/C reacts to a Snorkel. Would be running an AFE CAI as well, don't mind modifying a little bit of the plastic to make it all fit without leaks.
