Is anyone using the STaSIS brake duct kit?

I remember Vonk saying that he didn't use the IC shrouds. It would be interesting to see some
controlled tests with and without the shrouds to see just how much affect they have.

I purchased some high temp duct hose and NACA ducts to put together a cooling kit...
on a VW belly pan, but decided to wait until I have some more space where the RS4 intercoolers are mounted. ; )! The intercooler inlets on the RS4 bumper will be perfect for routing air to the brakes. BTW...the high temp hose is pricey$.

that was actually my favorite idea
make a "reverse" duct on the back of the intercooler that would neck down into a 2.5 or 3 inch hose... question is, would there be enough pressure to support adequate cooling of the brakes? Maybe a combination of lower NACA ducts and a modified rear intercooler duct? Use a simple 2 into 1 conduit which would feed the spindle-mount... All of these parts are very commonly found in circle track catalogs and stores.
We shall see... I won't have time to play with this until late summer.

FWIW, it's an easy mod on the E36 M3. I think the hoses may even be there from the factory.
They just need to pull off the inlet covers, I think. He may have been assuming that it was equally easy in an S4, which it's not, unfortunately.
