Guys, this roof scoop configuration is designed for race cars only where I will be needing a large amount of fresh, cool air to feed to an air-air intercooler that will be mounted in the trunk. This need for air trumps the need to be aesthetically pleasing in every way. For street cars or more mild builds with different goals, an air-water intercooler will be mounted in front of the engine and a heat exchanger will be used to keep it cool. Whether you like the look of the roof scoop or not doesn't really matter because to me, it's more important to cool the charged air going into the engine, and for this specific car and it's application, an air-air intercooler is the best way to do this.

For engine management, I'm using the stock Subaru ECU and modified wiring harness, and will be doing an open source tune.
