Snorkel Removal with Stage 2 DNA

Hi Guys,
So I have a 2009 XTX with the MTC cans with the NitroX (Soon to be replaced with Kev mod and O2 controller) set to max and I have increased the CO at the dash by 5 points. Yesterday I fitted stage 1 and 2 DNA filters..... WOW! What a difference, pulls like a train right through the range and the Fat mid range is brill! Love the extra induction roar too and the louder pops on the over run (Read "Kid at heart").
I have read about removing the snorkel and drilling holes in the covers but is that still necessary with the stage 2 filter as I would have thought the snorkel is practically redundant now as most of the air is going to come through the stage 2 filter surely?
I have also noticed that the surging has been worse lately. I suspect its because the air temp over last few days have been around 0 degrees Celcius. Would that be right? Anyway, when the wife isn't looking at my bank balance I will be getting the O2 controller to hopefully fix this issue once and for all.
Anything else I should be looking at. Already doing the regular maintenance and chain tension checks.
