tooquicktostop Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Does anyone know of a kit that will take the intake from a single turbo to the lower bumper vent where a filter would be placed on the end I am seeing in this warm weather and polished engine bay quite high engine bay/intake temps, I feel taking the air intake for the turbo down to the bumper would be benificial to the air temps?, or would it be better to build a heat shield and have a pipe from the bumper to the bay to ram cold air there instead??

Wez Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 From memory both b`have and MikeB have this done, the filter is where the SMIC would normally be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Very much depends on what bumper you have fitted, since fitting my JDL kit i have just added a piece of plastic sheet to help direct the airflow and I'm seeing ambient temps at the filter when on the move:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
