Yea, it's not there.

It traps heat IMO so I remove along with all the other plastic trim in the bay.

I removed my manifold cover also, but ended up putting back the other two covers over the little corner compartments. On the battery side, I've got my catch can in there, so I figure keeping it colder helps condensation. If you actually had a battery there I'd say keep it for that too, but I think you already relocated that, right?

On the brakes side, I figure keeping engine bay heat off the brake fluid reservoir can't hurt, but now I'm not so sure which way is better tbh. I guess the missing data is I'm not sure, when the fluid is hot, how far up the brake system the fluid heat travels (or how much difference cooler fluid at the top of the system can make). My suspicion is that the brake fluid stays slightly cooler with the reservoir insulated from the bay though.

Just got here. The quality of this kit is very good. Very happy with it. Can't wait to get it on.
