I did some temp tests with it in and out and found no change while moving above 25 or so. I put it back in too.

I've had mine out since day one - first mod I made - and without any scientific testing, at idal, there is a lot of heat leaving the engine compartment. Keeping mine out ! ! ! !

Of course you realize that with it out the air is not going over the turbo to cool it off like it was designed to do. You are shortening the life of your turbo but if you think it is cool that the hot air leaves the top of the hood then good luck. I hope you have priced a new turbo and are saving up [xx(]

Mean_Grean - With all due respect, I doubt that the rear hood weather stripping was designed and put in place to cool the Turbo. Can't see how hot engine air is going to cool it down. If they really wanted to cool the Turbo, youd think they would force cooler outside air into the engine compartment.
