Default the driver's side vent allows more air to get to your intercooler...
the passenger side allows more cool air to get to your turbo.

Default ive got mine on the passengers side actually to vent the warm air sitting around the turbo.enuf air
gets in to the intercooler portion just by driving forward...

i guess best of both worlds is just buying two fender liners - 1to let air pass over intercooler better and one to get rid of warm air around turbo.
