We put a hood scoop on the MkI of my youngest son.  It is a low-profile =
unit and doesn't do much. I'm not an aerodynamicist, I do know that =
unless a scoop in the middle of the hood sticks up at least 2-3 inches, =
it's sitting in a fairly dead air zone.  You need a high-pressure =
location (such as the bottom of the windshield) or a high-flow area =
(such as a TALL, pro-stock type scoop....that's why the pro-stock =
builders use the tall scoops)

  I'm investigating different mounting locations for the intercooler in =
my=20
  Scirocco, and one of the options is above the transaxle in =
approximately=20
  the same location as the Golf GTD.  The golf uses ducting to route air =

  from the grille area over the intercooler.  I've considered installing =
a=20
  hood scoop to bring fresh air directly onto it.

  Does anyone have any experience with installing hood scoops?  Any idea =

  where to buy one that would fit the Scirocco's profile without looking =

  reminiscent of a 77 Firebird (Sorry Cathy?)  How much dinero?
