Noone told me turbos make heat.
So I want the heat to get out while keeping fresh air moving through the trunk for the air filter.

Tape some yarn on that to see how it works. With the whale-tale, it may push air down.
Also note how it affects high speed stability.

Looks pretty good.
Does anything noticeably weird happen at speed?

Are you doing anything to encourage airflow through the vents other than convection?

I have no fans pushing or pulling air. I figure hot air rises. So at a light I am relying on basic physics to get the heat out.
While moving I figure fresh air is circulating in constantly in the truck now, since it's vented on the decklid now. Before much of the heat was getting trapped in when moving and when not moving
