Road&Ster mag tested the Trust one on an NA8 and got a 5 degree reduction in temp. In theory it's got to be a good thing, FD RX7s come with one as std.

I reckon it might be the trick. Every time I'm at just jap I want to buy one just to try and fit somewhere but I never bother. Might be a good job for this weekend.....plus everything else on my to do list. 8)
