Title: Modified OEM Air duct.
Post by: interloper393 on May 12, 2007, 06:35:53 PM
At 2.30 this morning i was working on ma car n desided to modify the original air duct that directs the air onto the oem intercooler..
The original has 2 huge holes in the top and a duct going to the left which cools the a/c..

First job was to cut the a/c section off and block in the section so optimum flow goes straight onto the intercooler and no where else :)

Needs a final quick sand down and then primed up n painted but should make a bit of difference :) also i m gunna rip out the aircon at a later date :D

cheers
