Default IC placement... how good is stock 1.8T IC location...

... since the input air gril area is only about 1/3 of the area of the IC? Is the IC getting enough air though the grill?

I'm trying to figure how to lower IC temps. I want to think that the IC is getting enough air for its size since, at speed there should be lots of air entering through the grill.

Default so the fog light is in the way enough to affect air flow...

... could I duct more air from somewhere else. In Canada the fogs are part of the DRLs. I'd rather not pay with that.

As for the S4 wheel liner... I'm gona order that tomorrow at the dealer.

Default Yes the fog light sits right in front of the IC.

You can always move the fog lights closer to the lic plate.
