Don't use tape to block the air flow to the intake resonator (Useless black thing over the coil). I did the same thing, and though you do get a little better throttle response even with the stock filter, after a while the under hood temps make the adhesive separate from the tape. The tape starts to fall off, and given enough time could get sucked into the throttle body and possibly jam it open (bad!) Instead cut it off and fabricate a plastic cover and bond it to the resonator with plastic epoxy or JB Weld (that stuff is magic). Thats the best option given a low budget ($2), but for a little more cash just get 3" aluminum pipe and thread a hole for the IAT.
