Thanks for your help guys. I can't say I have seen this CAI on their old website, but it makes sense. If they developed it for the SP, why did they not use it I wonder? Or it is just something they developed later and branded it with their business name, SP Motorsports.
From a turbo perspective, it make a lot of sense. A carbon air box pressurised by high pressure air at the front of the car, filtered, then a large diameter tube leading to the turbo should create its own boost under high speed and lead faster spool up.
This is quite a different idea to the more common mod seen everywhere, where an airbox is created under the bonnet. This too should work, especially if it has air ducting from the front of the car.

Wayback machine to the rescue:

That's from 2009 which seems about right for the website design and the girl posing on the home page
