Just a morning coffee thought.

I think it would be easier to do a custom intake. While the IRIS system makes for good low end, the power increase from a turbo or s/c would more than make up for it.

After looking at the pics of LAN's intake cutting and welding, it looks very difficult to make modifications to the stock intake because of the flowpath and shape of the runners. If you don't want to mess with internals, I think this woould be a great way to do it.
