Hey all.
I'm always looking for ways to get a bit more out of my GU RD28 and I saw some threads on here discussing aftermarket bonnet scoops increasing the performance of the factory IC.
The ARE scoop looks beaut on some of the Patrols on here so I sussed out their website, and they make some claims of efficiency increases with some good numbers but TBH it doesn't mean much to me.
With a bigger scoop I suppose the IC becomes more efficient, EGTs may drop, but would the cooler air going into the engine be have a positive performance impact?
Can someone translate the ARE claims into real-world results?
I'm tempted to get a scoop just for the looks but the price is throwing me a bit.
Cheers all!
