Default bonnet spacers??

has anyone heard of bonnet spacers or hood spacers for 4th gen ludes?
i am looking for a way to try and dissipate some heat... my car always seems to run hot, and i don't want it to overheat when I bolt the turbo up...

Can you not use High quality and stronger, longer bolts with the same thread pitch as the OEM one plus a few washers?

I've already taken out the rubber weather strip on the hood and the firewall. I plan to do this mod in the future also.

Your best bet would to be to find out why the car is overheating to begin with. If you try to slap a turbo on an ailing motor, bad things will happen.

But to raise the hood, I would try washers

i would use a plastic busing with a little rubber on top to compensate for the angle
