Just get an airbox out of a 4-cyl naturally apsirated Volvo from the mid 80s-early 90s. That airbox (at least the one in my 740) breathes from two intake paths (one to fresh air, one to the exhaust manifold) and is thermostatically controlled via a very simple flapper valve setup. You may need to replace the thermostat itself, but they are cheap from the right source. The only problem is that I don't know what the target temperature is.
