The front fascia ducts are only there to reduce aerodynamic drag, by around 6% from memory. Nothing to do with brake cooling.

The hood vents only have 3 open vents and 2 dummy closed vents. Apparently if all 5 were open it wouldn't vent properly and end up sucking air in rather than venting hot air out. Put your hand over the vent after a run and you can feel the hot air coming out.

6% reduction. Not bad for a couple of little ducts. Base of windscreens have a higher pressure so trying to vent out of that area is not going to work. So I take it then only the forward ducts are open?

Yep that's right, only the front 3 vents are open, with the rear 2 only being dummies.

Thought I'd start a thread in the correct section with my new ride. Could anyone tell me how I link my old thread "new toy arriving soon" to this one?
Anyway, you may have to like HPF page on FB to view it?
Here's a link 👍
Cheers Greg.

Looks like a very nice system. Enjoy!

Does your setup run a purge pump to move the stale oil from the turbos?

Yes mate, pump even runs for a bit after stopping engine to continue oil flow through turbos to cool them.

I can't believe how good this is to drive. Totally stock manners to drive around town, it's on vacuum all the time! Unless you push down a bit more on the pedal then you are just pushed harder back in the seat than I've ever felt before. Over 400rwkw on 7.5 psi.
