This is for a Cozy MKIV. This scoop is not set in stone but of all the methods 
I've seen I like it the best so far. If I can make the scoop an inch larger on 
one dimension and avoid an armpit scoop or similar for intake air, for 
instance, that would make me happy. But I don't know if it's enough to simply 
partition the scoop to achieve this, or something else is required. If a 
partition is the way to go, how close to the mouth of the scoop should it be?
