    I also use a tube with a / c to cool the battery in summer and Torque to regulate the fan.
    It runs from the battery vent inlet, under the passenger seat and joins the lower vent, under the glove compartment.
    I keep the temperature between 75-85 ° F.
    Regulating the temperature with torque and using the a / c without mod also get good results anyway.
    I practice sporty driving and there are a lot of hills in my city.
