Should I worry about this and maybe drill some holes to encourage flow ?
I have my full front blocked at the moment and no intercooler there. If weather is same+2-5 celsius my intake temperatures are between 40-65 celsius on speed between 80-120km/h. That is not hi at all. My engine temps still odnt rise to where they should be if temperatures are -15 celsius or more... On summer with intercooler on and hole for it temperatures were +10-20 celsius above out temperatures. I would say dont drill holes to that piece even in summer.
