Turbo hoods
 
Does all turbo hoods have the scoop on the center of the hood or are some scoops offsetted on certain TII hoods? Which model year is which?

Stock are all centered
 
As far as I can tell, they were all in the center right over the intercooler.

I think they're all off-centered, placed more towards the driver's side, at least mine is. I believe it's supposed to be right over the intercooler, could be wrong though

My friend's 91 TII has the scoop at the center, but I have seen pictures of other TII hood with offsetted scoop toward the driver side. The reason why I want to know is because I'm putting a TII hood on my convertible and want the one with the scoop on the center. If anyone know what year came with which, that would be very helpful. Thanks.

I think all OEM hoods are offset but the aftermarket ones aren't.

I have never seen a hood scoop in the middle. If you want the scoop in the middle you will have to buy an aftermarket one.

Nope aluminim hoods were stock on some cars. Try to get pictures of your scoop I am having a hard time believing it's in the middle.

i'll have to measure to see
 
I'm not at my car right now, but I could be wrong. I think I would have noticed if it was off set, but I'll see. Let you guys know in a few.

vaughnc 09-17-01 05:02 PM

Yeah - I didn't notice it till someone pointed it out. It's about 2 inches to the left (US drivers side).

snoopster76 09-17-01 05:15 PM

my mistake
 
it is offset. you guys know your stuff. Never really noticed.
