We put a hood scoop on the MkI of my youngest son. It is a =

2-3 inches, it's sitting in a fairly dead air zone. You need a =
high-pressure location (such as the bottom of the windshield) or a =
high-flow area (such as a TALL, pro-stock type scoop....that's why the =
pro-stock builders use the tall scoops)
