You would have a little better luck after getting rid of that hot air intake, or at least moving it away from the exhaust.

Just to inform you that it doesnt matter if it is a hot or cold air intake but The fact that I felt a dramatic Increase in Turbo Spool which made a huge difference in power. And if you had observed the picture you would notice that that intake is not make of the best quality material because it is simply an experiment. The stock intake and all parts come with the car. No need to bash the car dude. and I doubt the intake is the main reason the car hasnt sold yet.

It does actually, especially with a filter that small.

Noise. There is no way changing the air filter design can change power since power is controlled by fuel. The stock filter can flow 450cfm, 150cfm more than the engine consumes at 4500rpm maximum power, so it is not a restriction.

Not bashing, I was giving helpful advice.

Modifications, especially home built ones, are a major turnoff to most people. When I was looking for a second car, I turned away from 3 cars because the owners had done things like a "cold" air intake or WVO. If the owner is willing to do that, what else might they have done to the car?
