Hood Scoop
I'll probably use an enlarged hood scoop from a 2000ish WRX. What do you guys think?
Hope this image links in.
I checked one out on a friends car and the size looks just right. It even has a bypass duct on the right side of the scoop to vent cooling air down on the turbo--Not bad.
And you can get'em for about $180. Some modifications definitely required but not too bad.
Sure wish this thread came back to life.

well, i'll give feedback anyways. i have a friend with a 2001 imprezza that has the same hood and scoop. i've thought about this idea myself but i think i am going to go with the tII hood scoop just for the whole TIIFB concept kinda thing? hahaha i suck i know. it's very functional though! WOOT!

Why a scoop at all? The top-middle of the hood, where the TII FCs have their scoop, is a negative pressure area on the FBs. You'll be pulling engine air out and forward rather than ramming cold air in.
