hood scoop or washers?
i have this 93 accord boosted and everything just waiting on the tune. but there is one problem my intercooler isn't getting any air to it. So what i had in mind was just cuting out a piece of my hood bending it up wedling some sheet metal to the sides and bam riged hood scoop. only problem is keeping water and such out of the engine compartment.
but i also have heard from a buddy of mine that people would put washers on the hinges of the hood to let air in on the old cameros when they would race to get more air to the engine.... so im torn between 2 options what one do you think would work best and be the smartest thing to do?

Re: hood scoop or washers?
i hate scoops, had one on my old ef hatch. I did actually see lower temps on coolant and even about 5-10 degrees on oil, but the way they look makes me irratated. The washers would be the way i would go, but i would probably get irratated with that too. Either way i would find some way to get more air to the intercooler.
