Well for one, the wing is there for a reason, two you cannot just turn your scoop around "cowl style." It doesn't fit. Having the scoop turned the wrong way around means that 0 cool air makes it to the intercooler so the intercooler cannot do it's job and here comes detonation. You also said to just remove the scoop. Everyone but you realized how dumb you post was, now I'd like to see you turn your scoop around, so we can laugh at you when it doesn't work. I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you that you're making a lot of dumb posts.

Hey MACH5WRX, my car is dyno tuned, Ecutek, you can get 20-40 hp @ wheels seen it done on dyno, turning scoop around does work because for the scoop to be funtional you have to be moving, yeah your moving down the track, but it only gets cool at the middle of the track to the end, hence getting the intercooler chiller, and the losing the wing helps, the worlds fastest WRX didnt have one when it went down the track when it broke the world record.

Turning scoop around does work AS A GAUGE POD WHILE YOU'RE ON THE DYNO; SINCE YOU'RE STATIONARY, because in order for the scoop to be REALLY functional, you have to be moving. Yeah your moving down the track, but it only gets cool at the middle of the track to the end, hence getting the intercooler chiller, AND SOME NITROMETHANE AND TAKING A SAWZALL AND CUTTING OFF ALL BODY PANELS and the losing the wing helps. The worlds fastest WRX didnt have one when it went down the track when it broke the world record BECAUSE IT WAS A WAGON AND WAGONS DON'T DO WELL WITH HEAVY WINGS.

...plus they look silly.
Thought I'd lend a hand.
