I did my first time at the track.
with my 1" radiator.
i went back in august, installed the undertray, added a $10 diy scooper, and flushed the fluid with a 30:70 mix and had no issues again.
now that I run about 70% more power from that point, the extra cooling can't hurt.

I know the extra cooling can't hurt, but I really don't want to cut up a hood, and don't want to spend $700 at FM. I'm interested to see what the bell scoop does until I rip it off the first time I go rock gardening.

I wonder if I could get away with cutting holes like this:

Matt Andrews says he's had constant cooling problems even with the "triple core" radiator and 16 row oil cooler...which makes me afraid.

If that hood is in the $350 range, that would be the ticket IMO. Worth not having to cut and do body work on the stocker. That said, those vents don't look too friendly for a top mount turbo, and I doubt the extractor will work with my swap. I will probably go with ebay extractor so I can get it between the cam gears and rad. Looks a lot like the greddy shown in that CR thread and <$100.

Although the gaykonexion hood is not the prettiest I've see, I bet it will remove heat from the turbo, and keep air moving through the radio. I'm tempted to buy one up if they are $300-ish, and if I need it, pop it on. I bet the miata roadster **** will buy it up for what I paid or better once they're an importing or production problem which is a certainty.
