No offence but I reckon it would look pretty gay. What type of scoops are they? I want to get Cosworth bonnet vents on mine. I think they look pretty good.

havnt gotten them yet. i also think it would look a bit gay but i do want 2. 1 for the intercooler and one for the turbo to get air from.

more piping that way. want to keep it to an absolute minimum. gues i coud just do so interesting duct work for the air for th turbo. then i will only have the 1 scoop. and it will be cloe to the carby so people will think it is just for cold air

Wicked your getting a scoop!!! They don't really look gay, but it depends on the place you put it, or where your turbo gear is. High performance cars have scoops. Drag cars have scoops and now your car will. I've seen drag cars with the flip up lights like the mx-5, take out one of the lights and mount a vent inside the flip up housing. Would work but not if your driving on the road.

yup id say go look at one off a turbo diesel jackaroo. The 2000-> models are pretty wide and from memory the jackaroo only uses the left part of it.
