intake
yesturday i took the vaccuum canister out of its hole. i then made a air screen out of some mesh grill. i then put my intake in the hole and routed my intake to it. it gets alot more colder air and i can fell a difference. here it is.

Not ideal. Several issues. Sharp bends, corrugated (accordian) tube, too many transistions. You want the smoothest radius bends and turns as possible, and the smoothest possible uninterrupted inside wall for maximum airflow.
Take another crack at it, and you'll get it. 45° smooth transition from the TB would be best, as well as when you dive down through the hole.
INTENSE now sells the FWI tubing in 3", which is what you want.

It is about temperature, but you also are dealing with disrupted flow. You want laminar flow, aka the straightest moving air possible. If the air is just tumbling around in the intake it'* not making it to the engine as efficiently as possible.

Quite a bit off. It'* easier for me to make up for inefficiencies in air delivery BECAUSE I'm pulling it in with a SC.
You don't have that advantage. And the 90'* are hurting you more than they would me. Your manifold vacuum is the only source you have to pull with.
You're thinking backwards.
You are far more dependent on an efficient intake than I am in some respects. And colder air doesn't make up for less velocity, especially on an L27 engine.
