I think you will find you are still drawing in hot air from the engine bay. I had a similar setup at one point on my XKR & you could feel the diffewrence on a hot day. It was like I had 1/2 the boost I was used to. If you are interested I have an aluminum intake pipe from Eurotoys that would look nice with your setup.

How To Contact Paragon Design from US
I would love to buy this kit but I can't seem to get Paragon Design to return my email. (Used the link on the web site), is there a better way to contact them? I'm a US (California) Member.

Sorry if I didn't reply assume I did not receive it and send again, I will take look through my various email boxes.....
I have supplied the OP this setup but he seems to be having issues with his MAF I would like to find out why before I sell anymore o the US, I have fitted quite a few now here in the UK without anyprobs
I will look for your email but please send again as well.....

Cool or if you could either give me you direct email or send an email directly to me at renderle@enderlegroup.com that would be great. I'm looking at doung the TS blower upgrade so this may not work for me anyway (would need a bigger pipe) but would still like to do the hoses and maybe some of the other bits. I'll go to the site and send that other email now. This is for my 2004 XKR Portfolio.

Where'd You Get The Graphite?
How was the graphite in the engine bay done (or where was it sourced). It looks great, was going to try a wrap myself but doubt it will handle the heat.

As posted before I have fitted quite a few of these conversions and not had any problems, the only time I did have an issues was with an XK8 after some accident damage, this kept pulling a P0102 code and turned out to be a bad earth from the MAF to the ECU, rather than hunt the faulty section we replaced the wire going from the MAF to the ECU, to do this you will need the pin out diagram for the main ECU plug and do a continuity test.
Unless therer is some difference of setups between US and UK cars I cannot imagine why it should not work?

@Xkracer,
I noticed deviaitons in the MAF readings when changing the airbox to a cone filter, this is caused by a different flow over the maf sensor. You can easily check this by looking at the different fuel trims you get. I don’t expect it to be much different though that it could cause the MAF errors Miami XKR gets, but I haven’t played with a 4.2 engine, so am not sure how much the deviation can be here.
The 4.2 is even trickier as the MAF sits in the top cover box of the airfilter, so just cutting it off or using a different pipe will already have an effect as well.
