[Edited on 12-03-2004 by Gambit] [/quote] turbo cars gain more power via cooler boost temps, which is achieve by scoops/vents above the I/C. slightly cooler ambient under bonnet temps dont make too much of a difference to power. [/quote] yes Matt i do know what scoops and vents do, but they still need to get rid of the under bonnet heat generated by turbo engines to help keep the engine run that bit cooler hence why rs turbo's cossie's etc had louvres, and why Impreza's and Evo's 4/5/6 have them [Edited on 12-03-2004 by Gambit] [/quote] yep sorry me gettin at wrong end stick i think.......i was more angled towards induction temps for some reason :lol: silly me. as for those performance cars having louvres.........yep......they need em. shame my TD dont! :( Matt [/quote]
