I'm interested, but I'm not sold. Did you run this with or without your stock turbo heatshield in place? Seems it wouldn't do much good while that's on, but am really curious what you thought of it in place. Not sure if I want the inspection sticker official to be able to so easily see my downpipe because he might notice something amiss! Thanks!

The stock turbo heatshield is in place as the vent provide additional airflow to the turbo. It does not cool the turbo much but prevent for warping the hood scoop. IMO

So more to get the heat out than send cold air in in your opinion? I appreciate your thoughts. I'll think about it, but won't feel bad if someone snags it before me from the bump. =)

Cannot tell since I do not track the car but at high speed may be.

No worries.
