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 !! |

run the car a bit hard and come to a stop
the swappers in the US w/the vent say they see heat rise out of the vent... so yea, it should work for street use. --------------------  |
