So i have a boosted NX and of course it runs hot, I know of a few other things I need to do to the cooling system but my question is, who out there has made their own air diversion plate or even come across one made for the NX?

i had a vent in the hood above the turbo and an air scoop right under the front spoiler that directed fresh air past the turbo and out the hood vent. i think it worked good but one day getting out of a steep drive way i ripped the air scoop off :( then dad backed out of our driveway with a delivery truck and messed up the hood. been planning on doing something like this again once the nx is back running.

How about making an extra airscoop (for example, using the foglight holder), and funnel the air through pipes, directly onto the turbo?

i used my turn signals to give more air to the radiator had to cut through the metal muber though. and for the other post my IC pipes are were fogs are supposed to be. unless i went to air to H²O IC then you could do that but then it wouldn't be as neccesary because the IC wouldn't be blocking the radiator.
