[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15395976, member: 8854"] If you consider that a benefit :) I opted not to install that piece for two reasons. When the bypass valve is open and the air is recirculating around the rotors and valve in a circle and now you force that air through the intecooler which I'm cooling down with the a/c you're now cooling the blower casing and rotors and not just the air intake charge. That puts a never ending load on the a/c in normal driving. There's no shortage of heat that's soaking into the blower from the motor so the a/c will be taxed non stop. But more importantly to me is that the adapter that forces air into the bypass valve in normal driving also blocks off about 1/4 of the intercooler's surface area in WOT. That's just a restriction I wasn't willing to do. Maybe it doesn't matter but without doing some back to back tests and swapping the part in and out we'd never know. I already went to great lenghts of opening up the motor as much as possible including ported heads and cams etc. and didn't want to risk chocking down WOT with only 3/4 of the intercooler surface area to blow through. Just my take anyways. I wish it wasn't such a pain to access that block off plate as it'd be fun testing with and without and comparing differences and temps in normal driving and WOT output affect if any. Thanks Mike!
