When fitting a Front mount intercooler what have people done with the top mount space left over?

Has the air intake been taken advantage of ??? I was thinking, oil cooler, power steering cooler, Air Filter ?????

Thats the sort of thing that i was thinking about, are there any noticable improvements with it ??

Is it better or worse for heat soak do you think ??

Is the Shiny blue inlet manifold in your gallery Powder coated to get that effect do you know ??? I fancy improving the look of mine when i get it back from David.

done a fair amount of temp measuring and above 30mph the temp is 2degrees below ambient.. wind chill I assume..

Sit in traffic and the temp at the filter gets very hot something like 60deg but within 5seconds of pulling off the temp tumbles very quickly.

disadvantage is the filter gets covered in ****e! but can clean it cheaply and respray with proper oil for under £10..

Nice

Really want to neaten up my engine bay.. think it will be hammerite rather than powder coating though!

There is some paint very similar to the STI red stuff.
