I'm thinking (very seriously) about getting a FMIC.

What have people done/suggest about the bonnet scoop.
I wanna keep it as it looks cool (sad but true, LOL) and is quintessential Scooby, but can it serve any useful purpose.

 

cool the turbo

 

Get a reverse scoop.

 

Hang an oil cooler off the strutbrace.

 

Get a bonnet from a sport. Its got no scoop.

 

the OP was wanting to keep the scoop i think

 

Both of the above really. Oil cooler only if you really really need it. Cool air going in to the engine bay must be a good thing.

I kept mine cos I will always like the look of it. Its what makes it a Scoob
More of an identity thing I guess.

 

Yup, wanna keep the scoop.
Althogh the WRC 'reverse scoops' look cool too.

Oil cooler might be useful, wonder where they normally live, and how big.
(Last Trackday I did, the air temp in shade was 37ºC, quite warm !!)

Also wonder if the a/c rad might fit there, also freeing space for the FMIC as well.

 

ditch the air con completely, and the air con rad is not much smaller than the cooling rad, so might not go there

 

get rid of the aircon completely it takes something like 10%-15% of your engines power driving it i would go for an oil cooler up there because there is nothing else really that will fit in that space that is as useful as the oil cooler and keep the scoop it what a scoob is all about
