Boost controlled air door

Made the front plate drop under boost to allow more air to the intercoolers.. And narrowed the bumper again,(4 inches total) and set it back 1.5 inches. Controller will be adjustable and additional outputs will also control water injection later.

Smooths things out a bit.






Yeah I'm weird.. BW

That’s pretty sweet, what did you use for an actuator/hinge setup?
