    I'm almost finished my intercooler forced air, this is running from the side vent inner scoops picking up the surface air on the side of the car as I have increased the front fender gap to help surface air flow. The intercooler is not centered, so made clearance an issue. Now I just have to figure out how to connect 4" brake duct hose to 3" brake duct hose as the internal scoops are 4" and the intercooler ducts are 3" (as you see in picture).

    What did you use internally to collect air from the side scoops to your ducts?

    Some prototype scoops from FFR that mount on the inside of side vent on the side sail, so they force the air up to a 4" outlet at the top of the side vent. There are some picture some where in my posts here

    Looking good Tony! Very interested in how effectively your ducting works. While I won't be using a top mount, I'm torn between jamming an intercooler in front of a rear wheel or ducting to a rear mount.

    The only concern I have is idle time, I should not have much of that. I may also add a fan, but I will be able to tell if I'm getting heat soaked pretty quickly
