Turbo Hood on a NA car?
A quick question, Can you put a Turbo hood on a NA car? I think the answer is yes, but I just wanted to make sure. I have a 90 GTU and I have a line on a '88 Turbo hood. My old hood is trashed in an accident. I searched everywhere in the forums without any success.
Thanks in advance

ok... this is how i think the deal works, in theory
the engine bays on fcs don't "breathe" very well. air comes into the bay and has a hard time getting out. with the scoop on the tii hood, you are basically ramming more air into the engine bay. this extra air being stuffed in raises pressure in the engine bay slightly. this increase in pressure could cause less air to come in through the front and pass through the radiator.
now whether or not that actually makes a difference, i have heard no proof. i am curious about it though.

There were no survivors
Just buy the TII hood on then put on something like one of these reverse vented scoops on and make it functional(or at least one would assume it would pull air out, haven't seen any proof). If your hood is damaged, you need another one and you've found a TII hood locally for a deal over an N/A... just fricken get it. Its best to go with your own instincts when it comes to the cosmetics of the car. Else you'll end up with a car that looks like what everyone else wants and not what YOU(the most important opinion) wants.
here's a link to an example of what I was refering to.
