Has anyone tried this ? Any better performance? as it will obvously give a lot more flow through the intercooler. My friend makes intercoolers and is going to take a look at mine and see if he can improve it.

I think Andy Glover tried his with no rear 'plate on a track day, I'm sure he said it was better...Dan?

Yeh I would have thought so. My friend is going to check the charge temps with and without to see. He will also check to see if he can improve that original intercooler.

I willk let you guys know how I get on..

We have tested the car with the rear plate removed, in hot conditions, and it makes no difference to intercooler efficiency or engine temperature.

Given the results (particularly of his driving ) I'd say it made bugger all difference...

He measured it with my pyro and in his tests it made a difference. Hence why he always removed the plates every track day. Possibly not a very scientific test though given it was surface temp of the intercooler he measured if I recall correctly.

He's back in the UK soon, so perhaps can say what exactly he measured.
