Rev 3 turbo under body cover?

Post by azznwab »

Hi all i have 1994 rev 3 turbo and the under body cover is missing from under the engine. Is there any positive reason this might of been discarded ie cooling ect or should i get it replaced soon as possible? Also i am missing the fans in engine lid, what are everyone's thought on this?

Thanks in advance

Fans in the engine lid are aftermarket

I'd replace the underbody as it helps with airflow, stability, and protecting some bits. Can be got for £30.

I believe so, but the rev1 undertray are bit diffrent.
Also the gear box undertray cover can be two diffrent types. But both will fit.

There's not supposed to be a cover directly under the engine. I think there are 3 covers total off the top of my head, and the last small cover curves up just to the rear of the engine - under the exhaust manifold essentially.
