Under bonnet material - Bananalad - 21-04-2012
Is this important on my dturbo with a top mount intercooler? The underlay or whatever its called looks in a sorry state and was thinking of just getting rid of it and spraying under the bonnet fresh
So does anyone have any advise 
Thanks

Keep it if your on tmic it helps
Little airflow is better than no airflow

Does it make a big difference yeah?
Re: Under bonnet material - 4WayDiablo - 21-04-2012
It makes a difference yeah. That's why its there lol :-P
I got rid of mine when I went fmic though :-)
Re: Under bonnet material - Bananalad - 21-04-2012
Ah yeah i know but like i wouldn't worry too much if it made a small difference
i plan on front mounting in a few months might just leave it off
Re: Under bonnet material - Connor - 21-04-2012
It makes a big enough difference to warrent it being there
Re: Under bonnet material - Midnightclub - 21-04-2012
Well without it your intercooler is just an interwarmer

Mine was mangled so I got rid. Won't hurt as long as you know how to drive an XUD.

Makes a massive difference, it ducts air from the front of the car to the intercooler and works very well! With out it the top mount is all but useless TBH

Does 'knowing how to drive an XUD' make air magically go onto the cooler then?

Lol, not at all. But if your going to put your foot flat to the floor and rag it through 1st to 5th at every light then I can imagine it getting veeeery hot without the ducting.
I've been driving without my lining for at least 8 months now and my TMIC is never that hot when I pop the bonnet after a "rag".
If it's still there then leave it, if it isn't then don't bother replacing it if your getting a FMIC on at some point.
Simples!

Entirely depends on the boost your running though.. if your running 14psi then it won't get anywhere near as hot as 20+

I'm currently running 30+psi on a top mount with no bonnet lining

Thought you had a fmic mark?!

I do, it popped the hose off around the rad causing me to get properly stressed out with it as its pretty much impossible to get back on without removing most of the front of my car
Simple solution, rip out FMIC pipework and put the top mount back on

Edited for truth.
Re: Under bonnet material - Bananalad - 23-04-2012
Think ill just run without it for awhile.. I dont abuse the car anyway

Could always direct a cold air feed to the TMIC.

It was fitted properly, its been fine for over a year, its just pretty standard that when it does pop one off its always the one that is impossible to fix..............

You mean like the bonnet lining? since that is exactly what that is
