Looks like we've convinced you to join the SW20 fold Very Happy

MR2's can get pretty toasty in the engine area, even more so with a F/I one. Unmodified they are usually fine, but if you start tinkering you may want to look at additional cooling.

A few places on the net offer a fan shroud designed to fit 2 thermo fans to sit just underneath engine cover.

You've got the snorkel, from what I've heard they do very little except look good, but I've got no evidence there.

Something else I've been meaning to do is run some of the A/C ducting from a side vent up to the airbox(you'll probably have a pod on the GTE, but the concept is the same).

I've no idea about intake temps, but even on really really hot days in traffic for 2.5 hours crawling along the water temp didn't get above half, ever.
