Re: hood scoop or washers?
 

It cools, kinda like a cowl induction I'm guessing, but it lets air pass through easier and cools better.

So you want to put a hood scoop or raise the hood to solve this.
Show some pics of your intercooler setup. Location and what kind would really help.

Re: hood scoop or washers?
 

It all depends on the height of the opening and speed of the car whether air comes out or goes in.
The cowl hood induction is designed to force air IN through the back of the hood due to the high pressure going over the car.

why dont you avoid all of this and just get a front mount, for what you paid for that sidemount or whatever you are using, you could have got a used front mount on here or egay for the same price

Re: hood scoop or washers?
 

Really? Always wondered how that worked. I thought that it let air up from the grill/ground escape easier. Good post.
