the best cold air mod is a custom air box and the huge hose to the cut up fire wall, that is under air pressure moving fast.
the cowl gets pressurized air off the front of the windshield.
the cowl left and right sides have 2 huge water drains, preventing water there.
i have one more idea forgot above 1st post
the 16v has spark plug wells x4. and those wells love to fill up with water or bad VC gaskets that let the wells fill up with engine oil and spark fails hard.
one more...
thermostat works and reaches and holds 180f or more?
that 2000 RPM statement, is on hot engine?
seems your ISC/IAC are not working at all .
the 16v has 2, idle air devices
the ISC is electric and must e kept clean, or it gums up with PCV dirty could in the plenum.
the IAC is thermal only and this old love to fail, they love to fail leaking, and idle can not ever reach 800 again.
the IAC is here.

the IAC is just like thermostat, it has a wax pellet in side the closes 100% at 150f, temp and stays closed not.
if not it sucks air like mad and the ISC is rendered useless.
