Reckon its worth fitting a functional scooby vent if running throttle bodies on a 2ltr lump?

thinking about problems caused when it rains though, any ideas??

aye but the GSi vents are at the side & not really effective enough, was looking at something located nearer or over the tb's, but is why i'm worried about damage caused by rain

car bodywork is staying stock, im only considering a vent to get more air to the engine, not for cosmetics & scooby vent is right shape/size to do it IMO

what about 206 vents, just slightly raised up, or an evo one, not raised at all but still effective.

Or ive seen a mini cooper S bonnet vent (kinda like a scooby but placed where the bonnet curves down) placed rite in the front of the bonnet.

Cut the bulkhead out, with long enough trumpets it sits right next to the scuttle panel, Gets enough air, and makes them sound better
