I too tried the holes in the bottom of the box idea. I have a temp sensor mounted in my airbox and that was a real bad idea. Ultimately I sealed it back up and then installed a direct feed to the bottom of the box from the front facia. This solved the "hot box" problem. The intake air is cooler than either stock or the holes solution. Don't look for any "ram air" bs just cooler air and my turbo likes cool air.
Best thing to do IMHO is to remove the silencer in the top of the box, drop in a K&N, replace the airbox to turbo pipe to get rid of the restriction there and get a hard pipe for the IC to turbo pipe. There are a couple available from different vendors. Oh, and stage 1 if it ever comes available from Mopar.
