Has anyone considered cutting a vent in the bonnet, either diectly over an open filter or as I have been thinking feeding directly into the second Forge filter (righthand side one).
Easy enough in a carbon bonnet, or am I being a bit fick  :rolleye:



PS, I have a Dremel and I'm not afraid to use it  :signLOL:

^^^^
Neil, please stop posting pics of carbon eye-candy to further tempt me!
Otherwise I shall have to set one of my minders on you! : -



Re your question about adding an air scoop in the bonnet, I think it would be pretty tricky to get it positioned efficiently for the filter and at the same time not looking somewhat random and untidy externally, even if carbon.

Btw, there's now no doubt in my mind that our OSIR carbon bonnet's extract vent near the turbo, does a lot to expel hot air under the bonnet and contribute to ambient coolness. Also to draw air through front to back. It's not massive but every little bit helps.

Re getting extra air to the Twintake, please read my posts (Reply #350 onwards) in the Twintake thread I have linked to in my Reply #91 above. I'll now go and post some more info about it there which I've just come home to.  

:happy2:

P.S.- I'll get back to you re small carbon engine cover soon.

[No wonder I don't have time to work!]

....The only small one in carbon which I have found so far is by Neuspeed and available from Awesome at £242.14 incl vat. But it says that it must be used with the Neuspeed P-flow kit. I can't post a link for you to the specific page on Awesome's site [Awesome take note that this is not helpful!].

I'll let you know if I find anything else on my cyberspace travels.

carbon in engine bays is starting to get tacky imo. Too many chav wagons with it. Trends come and go.

....Not all of us do things just to be trendy.

Anyway, my mention of carbon in this thread was only to help NeilM's engine cover question.

^ Which ones were they?  Do you mean the red ones you are using?  I'm going to stick with the OEM DV hoses and just use a reducer so it will fit the DV bung.
