Palo Scoop???

Hi guys,

I got my palo scoop installed....
when i install it ...i removed the original one , and i removed the a big plastic under the bonnet.....then i put the new scoop on...but the thing is when i tried to install the big plastic piece back....it didnt fit in it ..may be the screw is not long enough....just rathering ...if any one have the same problem? and did u just install the scoop without the plastic piece which is under the hood....i believe that plastic piece is to help the air go directly to the intercooler....

One thing suprised me ...after the scoop installed...i took a test drive...
i felt that when i can on high speed faster than b4....may be wrong feeling ..i m not really sure

I think I ended up cutting the plastic on mine. My Palo Uber scoop has since taken up residence in my garage. The paint peeled off after only a few weeks (Palo painted it). Additionally it became uglier by the minute (Even without the peeling paint). I won't buy anything from Palo Uber ever again...it's a long story.

Your butt dyno needs to be recalibrated. Either that or I'm sure Palo would like a customer write up from you.
