The reason my coolant temps dropped so much is that instead of a scoop positively pressurising the engine bay and negating the air coming through teh front of the car. I went to a rear facing scoop which allowed air to flow out and created a low pressure area behind teh radiator and intercooler. Suck hot air out rather than blow air into the engine bay is the idea.

In fact, if you have enough air going through forward facing scoops u can cause the airflow through teh radiator and intercooler FMIC to go to almost nothing even at high speed.s
