Cool under the bonnet

(1/4) > >>

Hi All

Just a general question .

I am thinking of bandaging my exhaust to reduce the temp under the bonnet and that made me think about wraping the intercooler hoses and air box with insulation to stop them picking up radiant heat .

Does anyone know how much affect this would have on a 200tdi and is it worth the hassle and cost .

cheers Lee...

One of my intercooler pipes is steel  :?

Dunno realy  :?  :lol:  just thought I would mention it as an option  :wink:

Part of my hoses are metal as well but this still soaks up heat from under the bonnet ie. the cool air leaving the intercooler is re heated because the hoses or steel pipes are hot thus loosing density .

What I want to know basically is the power to pound ratio  :wink:

and is it worth doing :D
