I'm interested in what others think might be the best vented hood? I see one that has one large vent just above the turbo, and others that have two rows of three vents.

maybe it's best to test with a laser temp gun between the sessions or after a few hard runs to see which area has more under the hood temps..
or even better some thermal image of the engine bay would be nice

I think I will have to test it to see once I get a vented hood I will report back

I got the VIS AMS Style hood. Have a Full Blown Turbo kit and the vent sits on top of that area. I can definately feel the hot air escaping through when I park my car after a drive. I;m sure it does the same when driving.

The side vent theory does not work otherwise the designers of the vehicle would have made so.

This holds the same merit as saying if turbos made cars faster and more efficient the designers would have added it....

Is that the one with the six side vents or the big vent in front? Hot air rises so it's not surprising at all. I'd be interested if air is being pulled out under speed.

I'd like to know people's thoughts on which of these hoods would work best with a front mounted turbo like FB.
