Hey guys, i have the ViS Invader CF hood and im gonna get a turbo this summer and i was wondering with the vent in the hood being right over the exhaust mani, if there is going to be a turbo there will the rain affect it at all?? Please anyone that has or knows of this set up please help.

I would like to know this aswell. My wastegate is hitting my OEM CF hood. Very nice hood, if I might add.

I'm willing to bet YES. Think about the effects of instaneous cooling on extreme hot metal. Can cause warping or cracking. hence people recommend to wash your car after your brake disc has had time to cool off.

i don't think it would be a problem unless you're sitting in a downpour. other than that i can't see all that much water getting onto the turbo. i think this was asked before and people that had it said they didn't have a problem. i could be wrong though :shrug

it will be fine, if anything, cause it to oxidize much faster.

yes its fine...i washed my car several times just after driving, it always billows steam from the vents when the water hits the turbo housings, but never cracks. it's pretty cool though because with that hood, the compressor housing is perfectly visible through the center vent.

good to know since I will be turbo'in mine soon!

it'd be pretty badass if you boost hard at nite and can get your housing glowing. it'd look pretty awesome glowing through the vent in the hood :)

Yah then it would be pretty cool cleaning the melted hood off your mani! just kidding! If you want that put a neon under there, but I don't think the neon will hold up to the extreme heat of the turbo, unless you wipe it down with that deoderant that holds up against extreme heat! :nuts
