alright... I found a subaru in the junk yard, some old turbo charged little 2dr sports car, it has the old stile hood scoop with intake piping mounted below.

I will post pictures of it soon

anyway, I was hoping for some suggestions on how to hook it up to my intake to make kind of a ram air effect.

it'll probably be easier to tell me after I get the pictures online

that sounds like it would work great, ive had the same idea from that and other cars with similar hood scoops.

i like the wing, what wing is it??and the hood scoop would be functional anyway if not to just blow air onto the TB and cool it down slightly, has noboby seen people place bags of ice on they're throttle body to cool it down???

The scoop would be nice if the person knew what they were doing. I have a functional hoodscoop and I have made a custom plexi-glass ram air box for it to seal it so it would be a ram air intake.

I plan to get a carbon fiber hood and put a WRX STI CF scoop on someday.

Here's the scoop that I want with my CF hood. It's about 1/4 way down its the only CF scoop.
