Josh,
  I'd say you could try a forced cold-air induction rig if you wanted to: run
  some nice large-diameter hose up to the passenger-side intake.  Inside the
  mouth of the intake, fashion some kind of funnel which would force the air
  into the hose.  Plenty of folks rig this kind of poor man's turbo on other vehicles -- I
  recently sold my Mazda Miata (the "one guy:three cars" ratio was out of
  whack), but the forced induction thing is a popular enough mod to warrant
  kits:http://www.performancebuyers.com/catalog.html?carLineID=10&view=description&partID=1846&areaID=6&subareaID=44&start=1&thumbs=0&q=&scope=All  Downside is that it only works at speed, and there might be some problems
  associated with feeding the Bosch slightly colder air.
Best,
d.
