I just got back on a road trip from dallas and upon inspecting my intercooler I noticed that a moth, a butterfly, and a plethora of bees had been sucked in smashed and stir fried on my intercooler. I was wondering if this hurts my effeciency? Will a bug affect the cooling of the air charge? Does the gooeyness play a factor? If I say hit a large flying roach instead of a wasp, will the creamy salty goodness of the roach cause more pressure drop? In any case. I'm wondering if there are any percautions I should take when cleaning my IC. Don't wanna hurt it. And does anyone make a screen to go in your hoodscoop? And can you really stir fry things on your IC? Cause if you can...I can make a mean eggs over topmount...they're runny...but not too runny...

 

If you want to go the cheap route and do this yourself goto a hardware store and look for one aluminum gutter guard.

If you want for looks, spray paint it black.

 

Spray paint what black? How would that help?

 

The gutter guard is a grey aluminum color. If you dont want the guard to be as noticeable paint it black to blend in with the intercoooler scoop.

The holes in the screen lets plenty of air in the scoop. But will block medium sized rocks, mid sized and larger bugs.

Just remember to keep the screen clear.
