owenmaxx Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 im actualy going to try something ....drive w/o cover and drive w cover same day and 3 hour cooldown in between same distance same type of driving [mix heavy/slow] and check back real quick coming to a stop of my trip with my heat gun to see temps of the intercooler to me it seems like having the engine cover can be beneficial for the intercooler since it icolates its from the engine along with the hood scoop being air tight [not rlly but you get the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie_R Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I kept mine on just because it looked like under the hood of the 08+ WRX without it. Definately don't want that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee07 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Mine is on and always will be on. Looks nice and better with it on. Looks dumb and ugly with it off. Why would you ever take it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEN the next day take cover off and do the same. Seems to me a 3 hr cooldown may not give you conclusive data, also this time of year 3 hours can make huge difference in temp/sun exposure. just my thoughts, trying to think like Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage here.... Or drop Mythbusters a line and offer to use your car as a test subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
