Fri, 13 May 2005 03:25 A top mount intercooler does get plenty of air flow through the scoop but mainly because the flow of air in those engine bays is fairly purposefully designed. You will notice that WRXs, and GT4s (maybe even Mazda Familia's?) have extra vents for heat extraction ASIDE from the main bonnet scoop, this is to ensure air *flow* so that the intercooler can operate effectively. If you only had the bonnet scoop, and the hot air from the engine bay had nowhere else to escape (as in the case of the Pulsar GTI-R I think) then the top-mount intercooler will get very little flow directed to it and only at very high speeds when the pressure is very high near the bonnet scoop will it actually work with some level of efficiency - effectively only when the air is really FORCED into the engine bay.
