What's a Sport insert???

 

Maybe the hood scoop?

 

Could be, we shall see

 

Welcome to TW BTW!!

 

this?

 

Won't do anything but allow dirt and water in your engine bay from the topside.

Yes, you bought a truck with a faux scoop.

Yes, it's just as slow as all the non scooped Tacomas.

No, opening up the scoop will not make it faster.

And there no 'racing' in TRD gear, other than the SC. Everything else is just bling badging.

 

I just can't stop looking at this....

 

Which one? They are both pretty great.

 

The gif. It's hypnotic.

 

Low pressure area. Not the place for a ram air setup. Cowl and nose are high pressure areas. But............

 

Just to be clear thats not my truck. Very very clear lol

 

I removed mine and now I win races and pull bitches. I also get 32mpg city driving on 35's. It works well with my tornado intake.

 

But you have the K&N Sticker on the back window as well right?

 

What in the fawk are you waiting for OP?

 

Yes, but that was added later on so it has no effect on my results. I only noticed a small improvement after the K&N performance sticker mod.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmm was contemplating getting my own sticker, don't think I am worthy yet?

 

According to Mike Sweers, removing the insert will create more turbulence in the engine bay, which will lead to a decrease in mpg
