Message I'm sure an NA fascia on a TT would be generally bad for your engine, and with an NA fascia detonation would be a lot more likely with the hotter intake charge. But the turbos actually see no cooler air from the intercoolers, air goes through the turbos before the ICs - intake>turbos>ICs>TBs.. So an NA fascia with bad cooling would generally be bad for power and longevity (because of increased likelihood of detonation), but the turbos theoretically shouldn't die any earlier if the TT had an NA fascia, or no intercoolers for that matter. My contribution for the day.. If my logic is somehow wrong, someone tell me ;)
