Those are common problems, woodyracing. Mostly people try to seperate there filter with sheet metal, which probably is the best way to go.

A seperate water\air cooler system would be interesting as well, only the additional pump needs to be judged on power consumption. Using the normal cooling system is of no use as the temperature difference is of no use, as it only works when the intake air is really hot, like when turbocharged.

In F1 however fairly reasonable amounts of pressurizing is realised with the airboxes. Because of the much larger variety in circumstances, such a design on roadcars could prove of little use, but perhaps a swicthable or adaptable system would be of some attraction. If the designs would keep up.
