i am investiagting this also, but it might spoil my bonnet

the only other way you could get round this is doing what they did in the btcc cav's and turn the head around, so the tb,s are facing forwards, custom manifold needed but think how nice it would look/work

i have a few too, but i think the sealed enclosure with a full-size active scoob vent will provide plenty of air

I got exactly the same dilemma on my TD.........

i'm gettin the boost reset again soon, and the higher charge temps are gonna need some venting. However, i'm doin the car so subtley that i'm thinking that a scooby (altho will do the job perfectly), will look way OTT

I'm considering cool louvres mounted in reverse to scoop the air down, but i just dont know how effective this will be.

Guy @ cool louvres has suggested gettin the new slim line Vitara vent, which only sits 25mm proud of the bonnet, and looks flush........ This may be the way forward

Matt
