the vent in the hood of a GT-4..... sorry i don't see how it works in the posititon it's in ????????????
as the intercooler top box sits between the vent and windscreen ! i have a plastic rain trap to catch any water, thus stopping any flow of air plus i've got 1" of insulation to the underside of the hood !!!!! if it's ment to help cool the top box of the intercooling system, them surely there need to be a through flow of fresh air via that grill and out of the rear hood slots !! anyone ??? anyone understand what i've said ????? --------------------  Life is for living, and you don't get a second chance Take care now !! |

the water to air intercooler stays cool on its own but can get some heat soak which is real bad, because of waters characteristics
it will take longer to get heat soak becasue it is water, but when it is hot, i will not cool down as fast. therefore that vent is there to let as much heat as possible OUT of the hood, and away from the intercooler --------------------  |
