TBH Bhozar me and Dave had a discussion on this and after thinking about it for a bit I think we decided the ocari vents could go either way. Yes there might be some extra air pulled in by the scoop....but its possition there on the scuttle in front of the screen means it probably sits in a bit of an air flow void (created as air lifts to pass over the screen). We think that the swirling air in that area might not get caught by the scoop lip....so it could be a 50/50 on which way the scoop needs to face! Therefore you might be just as well of or possibly better to just leave the pollen vent as is....But I'm never one to say go do/not do something until I have done it....so I may order one from somewhere and do some very very basic tests....Like I have with my M7 scoop (which seems, on initial tests to cool my stock IC far better than a normal scoop....but its a terrible fit and finish so needed huge amounts of tweaking and is defo not to everyones tastes .... Especially Lucky and Ades!)
