If the aem ran low and didn't tell me, I'd he worried, same can be said for crap boot flow if not thought about., or heatsoak in the boot also


Are you not using a side mount "heat soak boy!!! lol"

To be honest the guys who go boot mount are really running for mega bhp so the mods on the car are at the point of no return,

The Guys who go boot mount for anything less than what a side ,mount can handle do want there nuts nipped for cutting up there 2,

The roof spoiler works as a scoop. But I don't believe that works in high performance engines. I think that I make firt that under boot mount cooler and look how high intake temps I have. If temp is going too high then I'm mount it into ar$e
