hi peeps

I was wondering if any of you fitted extra vents to there bonnets, for example the classic smaller vents? are there any Pro's and con's?

If any of you have got extra vents, any pictures?

thanks

I swapped my 98 uk standard vents for 22B replicas.

Two years ago, I went back to standard.

Think if you have k an n type filter the vent over that could be useful

In what way?

You shouldn't OPEN that vent as the ingress of water allows water to be sucked into the induction

Surprised if rain drops would affect anything mate?
And the heat these babies kick out I'd think if would be doubt full
But I know you no your stuff
I would open that vent fir air flow

I'm not thinking rain drops, I'm thinking water ingress at speed.........

Up to you, though.

Just remember that any liquid water sucked into the induction will NOT be good for the engine, water doesn't compress....

Remove the backing plate above the air filter and you actually increase the temperature in that area as the vent acts as a chimney and drags the air from around the turbo / down pipe.
