BigBlock6 New Member 5 Member For: 6y 8d Posted 03/02/19 07:41 AM Share Posted 03/02/19 07:41 AM Just picked up my 2006 Turbo Territory, bought it from my father in law. Low km 108,000km. So now I am planning a few tweaks, intercooler relocation, and turbo oil supply/drain mods and maybe a 12lb wastegate upgrade. The exhaust mod to open up the unused pipe is done already. But what is everyone doing with the bonnet scoop after putting a front mount cooler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build yourself a custom air intake with a large panel filter. I saw a territory with this done. Or you could just do nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be a little concerned with the intake pipe heating up over the exhaust manifold but it could be insulated. When the outside air flows in, it cools intake pipes down a hell of a lot, very quickly.
