Wallys v-mount Thread

Just in case anyone was interested on how it was done. The v-mount is fine, but the ventilation blows. Blows so much that it blew somthing else.

That intercooler is huge, I cant believe it fits. So wally, you would say it was a lack of venting on top of hood to remove the heated air, that blew the motor. Hopefully you will be back up and running soon.
Good luck

Wally, we need to get together and fab up some cowls to force the air through and not around your FMIC and rad, you are/where running hot in large part to not getting enough force airflow through your mods.
Just my arm chair opinion based on your pics.

Later bud.
