Talking Rear Air Vent Modification

Hello; has anyone ever performed or heard of a modification to the rear air vents to increase air flow on an X308?. I believe the X305 have a rear air-blower system “motor” which increases the air flow to the rear passanger area. I am interested in modifying my rear system to increase the air flow.

Mine can only be described as "asthmatic" as well. terrible air flow, might as well not be there. No idea how to increase flow though. Watching this thread.

i think you'd have to add another blower somewhere...although if the foam sealing around the back vents come loose, than some air is going into the center arm rest console...that is what happened on mine, which is ok as it cools my T605 brains

To improve the factory install, it's a case of removing the front seats, centre console and carpet. Then duck taping the joints in the ducting. Also removing the foam inserts in the under seat vents. I did this on my rebuild as a matter of course, and got it working a bit better than original. It's more noticeable with the air-con blowing. Weak to begin with, and not much better with tweaks, but better.
