ill chime in with this. we had to shim the rear of the hood up 1/2" to fit the last turbo we had in the 2jz swap car. at the drag strip the wipers were flapping and going up the windshield about 1/4 of the way at the top of the track (140mph). the new turbo doesnt need the extra space so it will be neat to see if it happens again with the hood fit as oem. i would assume that would mean air is coming out of the bay and pushing them up. just something for thought. I have not had the rubber hood seal in my car for over a year. I never have heat issues but i street/drag race so i know its not nearly as much of an issue as a road course would produce..
