OEM Snorkle and Rad Shroud Question
I am in the process of taking the front apart again to finally grind down headlights, Vortech bracket, to clear more room for oil lines and pipe clearance.
I had a leak from the fittings on my oil lines which is related to basically being pressed against the Vortech airbox bracket. So I have new lines, drained the mocal cooler and going to send a 7000 mile UOA of the redline 0w20. @Brian@Vortech QUESTION 1 The instructions do not call for installing the intake box snorkle. I have seen some people do it. I did not because its not in the instructions This plastic shroud, does it have a purpose or can it be removed to reduce radiant heat? Will it help or hurt removing it? QUESTION 2 Is there any options for a snorkle that wont jack up tuning from the airbox or does it not even matter?

I removed the shroud. I don't think it helps or hurts with removing it. I never noticed a difference after it was gone.

According to Perrin, removing the radiator shroud is a bad idea:http://blog.perrinperformance.com/br...design-part-2/

For your second question, the HKS snorkel should work without requiring a retune. Keep us posted with your results! |
