Air intake on 16v

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

So, your telling me that in fact, that the hot air from the exhaust stove does 
not warm up the car?

Patrick said that it is 'there to bring warmer air into the intake', which is 
true...  He said nothing about warm up cycle, and neither did I...  :-P

Lighten up, in a manner of speaking, you are both right...  :-)
