Working the top!

 

Bump!

 

Working it

 

3x (T!)

 

Any Pix on car?

 

PM sent!

 

Did you ever figure out how to put this on because I haven't

 

Very simple; install the nut inserts into the hood hole, and bolt up the vent scoop with the screws.

- Erik

 

Ok I will give that a try this weekend.

 

ice cream?

 

Not to be a skeptic but does this mod have any proven benefit?

 

People who have purchased have been happy with lower hood scoop temperatures, and promotes additional turbocharger cooling; especially those who autocross or track their vehicle.

Will this work together with a M7 carbon Fiber scoop?

 

Installed on my 2009 R55:

PM me; I would need a photo of the underside of the mounted M7 scoop and see if there's threaded studs on the M7 unit.

Yes it works with teh CF scoop. I have mine installed and have the CF scoop. Acctually the type of scoop you have does not matter as this part attaches to the hood itself.

 

So in your humble opinion, with all heat from the turbo exhaust turbine and the cat ,what is the better idea?Covering the turbo up with the M7 heat shield or this hood scoop air defelector ?

 

More installed photos as requested! - Erik

 

Hi do you ship to Asia?

 

PM sent, need a shipping address to confirm freight cost.

is that better that seening the air to the air intake

 

The OEM intake "snorkel" feeds from grill in the hood next to the headlights.
The Vent Scoop doesn't affect that operation.

I know I installed a F&M air filter and it has a hole on top of the air box. I saw this on a other post
thanks
