!!! ice cold day in florida Reply #17 – December 31, 2010, 11:09:59 PM Was a foot till the 60 mph wind started. Had a half foot under the hood from the scoops. Anyone made nice foul weather covers for T.C with open scoops? Quote Selected

!!! ice cold day in florida Reply #19 – January 01, 2011, 10:35:02 PM I actually thought about low expanding spray foam and a plastic bag? put the bag in the opening and fill it with foam. Rube Goldberg looking but might work though :pbb: Quote Selected
!!! ice cold day in florida Reply #20 – January 02, 2011, 12:16:51 AM i meant rubber foam lol you can get it in black, cut it to squeeze in and trim it up so it doesn't look like butt Quote Selected
!!! ice cold day in florida Reply #21 – January 02, 2011, 09:56:16 AM This weather is crazy anymore! You never know what it's going to do anymore. To block off your scoops wouldn't the foam insulation for pipes work? It's cheap and you can cut it to size. Quote Selected

What happens when you guy's with TC's are driving in the rain/snow. What happens to all that moisture? where does it go? Its been bugging me for a while. I don't know enough about TC's to know that. Ive removed the intercooler piping that was riveted to the hood to make room for the 5.8 and carburetor so I cant tell on real T.C's But if you look in the scoops on mine your looking at the distributor and wires. When I did the build I had a high temp problem so I put a dual fan from a 99 a cougar it moves so much air that it seems like a positive air pressure is created under the hood. Ive gone through the car wash and checked after it was dry after driving in the rain it was dry. As far as driving in snow I hope to never find out with 380hp under the hood the car gets away from me in the rain don't want to try snow. Like someones Sig don't drive faster than your guardian angel. And buckleup :burnout: Quote Selected

All that moisture? We all know the TC's get garaged and the cats come out to play :p Quote Selected
!!! ice cold day in florida Reply #26 – January 02, 2011, 10:56:56 PM the moisture goes through the intercooler and down over the turbo. really nothing too complex and nothing to worry about. Quote Selected
!!! ice cold day in florida Reply #27 – January 02, 2011, 11:21:55 PM oh. Well now I'm wondering what cars with functional ram air scoops do. You know like the old Firebirds and other, I guess, custom built cars. I mean I know custom built cars probably don't go out in the rain but well of course firebirds were production cars. I guess they just eat the rain and burn it up with the gas? Of course then if you get into a real downpour you stand the chance of flooding out your engine.... Hmm, well this isn't what the thread was about but my mind wanders.... Quote Selected
