There's theory and apparent scientific proof that supports it and also supports that it makes absolutely no difference. I can't comment for sure as I changed many things at once.Quote:

The bonnet protector supposedly bounces the incoming air upwards enough, so that it's sending it over the bonnet scoop, compared to without the bonnet protector. There was a video somewhere with a bloke doing it with feathers and a camera on the bonnet.
And also one where the bloke had an industrial fan setup, coated the the top of inercooler with Lanolin and sprinkled dust into the fan and a lot of the intercooler surface remained clean. Then he repeated it with no bonnet scoop and much more air/dust went into the scoop.
This wasn't the video, I can't seem to find it. BUt it was similar to what this guy has done ....

I seem to remember that vid as well, and it was fairly conclusive that the bonnet protector made a huge negative difference to the airflow through the scoopQuote:

The 4 turbo to manifold bolts are a royal PITA to get at, I ended up using an open ended spanner (a good quality one), but got away with it, otherwise to me it looked like a manifold off job, which I wasn't interested in doing.

As you can see the aerpro does not connect to it?? Any idea what it is??

And just my luck the jvc plug is a mini so the aerpro doesn't fit.
So hodge..
I'm guessing most the colors are standard on the aerpro?
My unit has a separate reverse wire and park light switch..
Would they be the missing wires on the 3rd plug??

Kallen.
Here is the photos of when I was doing the stereo in my 2009 CRD. I honestly cannot remember.... But I'm sure I left that plug out.
You can sort of see the aeropro adapter chopped up.

Now this photo show the Aerpro adapter again, however this was in my 4.2L which DIDNT have that plug, I'm sure of it.
