TC hood question.... Reply #1 – October 22, 2013, 09:34:49 PM Unless your car does a lot of setting that shouldn't be a problem. The scoops were designed to create a vacuum and pull air out, not force air in. That's why there is never any buildup on the intercooler of a driven TC. Quote Selected

TC hood question.... Reply #4 – October 22, 2013, 10:21:42 PM I fabbed block off plates for a few hoods. They work well, and are a simple bolt on. No mods other than removing the TC air duct, which, for a V-6 or V-8 car I would assume has already been done. Quote Selected
