The reason why it doesn't happen on real GT4's is because they have a W/A intercooler chillin right where that vent is. It would prolly get the IC wet, hence the reason why it has that shiny black plastic covering. 5th gens had the A/A and that wouldn't have been the best idea, hence the hood scoop. The GT4 hood wasn't designed for cars w/o an IC tongue.gif

sorry, but that is incorrect.

most people think that the hood vent sits over the intercooler...this is not true. the vent is right over the exhaust manifold. righ where the 3sgte turbo would be. the idea is that since the turbo gets so hot, its best to vent that air out and not heatsoak the whole engine bay.

the water to air intercooler dosnt need a vent because it uses water to cool the air (boost) thats being fed into your engine.

the 5th gen alltrack hood scoop sits right over the intercooler because that is an air to air intercooler. it uses air to cool air (boost).
