The recess is sealed off from the engine bay with rubber tubing thereby providing a cold air entry for the (upper) snorkel that is separated from the hot air in the engine bay. On the driver's side the plastic part vents into the engine bay in the direction of the turbo.There are also after market versions available.Link to after market over radiator air deflectorRegards,aa Edited 21/05/07 12:05 PM by aiboart Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35165-thing-behind-the-grille-to-deflect-air-upwards/#findComment-535391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
