Default Home designed forced air induction....

Hey, I just replaced my AIR pump a while back, only to find out that I dont need it...lol

Ive got a question. If I take the hose, and route it to my intake, would I have a little bit of boost? just a little? like just 1-2 PSI or so?

I know the little sucker does move a decent amount of air, nothing amazing, but a decent amount...

I could devise a way to incorporate the hose into the rubber power tunnel i got. Its thicker than stock. And have it aiming some what at the TB Blades..?

My question is, would it build any pressure, or just go out the airfilter...? Would it be cooler air? at all?

You will make more power if you remove the pump all together.
