As an Innovation Evangelist Engineer Architect, I can confirm that this is not centered.
Can somebody explain to me why the hood vent wouldn't be shifted further back closer towards the turbo/dp exit? I'm no aerodynamics engineer so I'm legit just curious if anyone can explain.

"The temperature behind the radiator [Outlet of Radiator Air Side] is around 25 degrees Fahrenheit lower with the Verus Engineering Hood Louver. The hood louver helps evacuate the hot air that has passed through the radiator."

It’s off center.

Even though I set it up with a laser, I can guarantee you that it’s not centered. Lol

Further back is high pressure, you want to place vents in low pressure areas.

I am a professional photographer, architect, and marine biologist - I ran this image through some of the best software in the world. People say only I could have used this software and it's the best software in history. The point is I used this software to scan the image and determined that it is indeed, off center. I even requested the software to "enhance" getting the same result.

Maybe no one else will notice.

How's the fitment of the billet oil cap and any issues so far?
No issues at all and it’s a perfect fit. Also if you didn’t know, you just insert the 3/8” wrench extension right into the top of this. You don’t need that giant socket. Easy peasy.

I got my black vent about two months ago from them. The carbon fiber one has been out of stock for a long time.
