TII Hood?
just a quick question, do you absolutely need a turbo 2 hood for a turbo 2 engine ( top mounted intercooler)? cause i just have a stock N/A hood.

yea, with no scoop, the intercooler will just soak up all the heat from the engine and increase intake temps, leading to detonation under boost. not a good thing
On a similar topic, could you cut/bend the stock hood to make a scoop? yea, ghetto, but if the guy needs something to work without killing his motor...

Covert.. IT can be done for less then the price of a T2 hood.. $99 for piping and another Hundred for a used FMIC... But you can run with the N/A hood... I have seen it done several times without adverse effects, I wouldn't do it in hot weather though..lol

i ran a N/A hood on a T2 for a while when i got it. I ran fine and never over heated. Didnt push it hard though, just regular 7k rpm driving =P
But now with the T2 hood, seems to run a lot better, so i would recomend getting sum sort of cool air to the IC.
