Assuming they were trying to get intercooler temp down further? But seems vicious cycle if it’s pulling warmer air through this core first?
And yes, that is the blower inlet in the circled picture. It ain't great either, as least subjectively. You have to run what is basically heavy duty dryer hose down across the front, through the grille area, and into the left front fender. You have to squash the hose pretty good to make it fit, or cut some big holes. I haven't figured out a material improvement yet.

My nephew's car has twists like that (not sure if they are identical offsets as yours) but I had to roll the fenders just to fit 275s. I got 295s on my S4 and it is full. I believe the only ones running 305s are the GTS with the factory fender flare or body work.Yeah, I’m getting them mounted this week so they are not on yet, but those concerns you mention are real Mike.

Crumpler wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 6:18 pm That’s a good question.Well. Fuck it then. I want a remote detonator.
The location service also will not tell you where it is, I assume to avoid armed vigilantism.
At day two I found myself asking why I was even trying to get the car back, if the police or the insurance company don’t give a shit why should I.

Thank you Jason. How is your rebuild?

Recovered, but total loss. I’m shopping for a daily driver as we speak.
