I'm not convinced that you've pinned down your problem. I understand 
that you've eliminated some possibilities, but the fact that none of 
us can think of any other possibilities doesn't mean that they aren't 
out there.

Also, I don't understand what it is about the Type 4 intake that 
provides "forced induction." It's been years since I dealt with one, 
and this is not an aspect I paid any attention to, but the Type 4 
squareback louvers and ducting strike me as pretty much the same as 
those in the Type 3 squareback.

The notch ducting is a lot more convoluted. Are you under the 
impression that the area behind the notch rear window is a high 
pressure region? Is this true? I wouldn't expect this, but I don't 
know.
