With Doghouse

No Heater

Engine cooling isn't just about moving air—it’s about moving it to the right places. The EMPI Super Shroud is the result of extensive CAD modeling, 3D scanning, and real-world flow testing to create the most efficient cooling shroud on the market.

Traditional and aftermarket shrouds are often imbalanced, sending more air to the passenger side (cylinders 1 & 2) while leaving the driver side (cylinders 3 & 4) to run hot. EMPI engineers used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to redesign the internal fins, correcting this imbalance and ensuring consistent temperatures across your entire motor.

Performance Features:

  • Porsche-Inspired Velocity Stack: Features an added inlet—mimicking the Porsche 356 OEM shroud—to significantly increase airflow volume.

  • Balanced Airflow: Proprietary internal fin placement delivers equal cooling to all four cylinders.

  • Optimized Fitment: 3D scanned from multiple engine cases to ensure a perfect seal against your engine tin, fitting both OEM and "bubbletop" cases with ease.

  • Versatile Fan Options: Engineered to accommodate either stock (28-30mm) or high-output (37mm) fans.

  • Extended Cooling Tips: Replicates the functionality of OEM thermostat vanes in the "open" position for maximum air direction.

  • Clean OE Aesthetic: Features a sleek semi-gloss black finish with horizontal alternator bolt alignment and fewer unnecessary holes for a professional, "factory-plus" look.

The Numbers:

  • 7% more total airflow than previous EMPI non-doghouse shrouds.

  • 14% more CFM than OE-style shrouds using a 30mm fan.

  • 42% more engine cooling capacity when paired with a remote oil cooler and 37mm fan.

Beautiful and functional
This is the first espresso distribution tool I've ever used, so I wasn't sure if it would really make a difference. I haven't had a home espresso machine for 15+ years, so I figured now that I am home more, I'd get all the accessories to do it right. This is a beautiful piece that is very functional. It's simple to use to even out the grounds to provide for a more even flow of water through the coffee. Since I got this and used it from my very first espresso, I actually didn't test doing it without this tool to see if it made a noticeable difference. Because I've never used one before, I'm not sure what features to compare to others, so I don't know if the current $24.99 is good or not. It seems high for such a simple product, and I probably would never consider getting it if I hadn't been given the opportunity to get one through the Amazon Vine program. But as part of my new espresso routine, I do think it contributes to making a delicious cup of coffee. It certainly can't hurt and is part of my regular ritual now.

Precision at Its Finest for Espresso Enthusiasts
Color: Black, Color: Black
As a passionate home barista, I recently incorporated the WDT Espresso Distribution Tool into my espresso routine, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. This tool is a game-changer, providing unparalleled precision in coffee distribution. Here's why it deserves a solid 5-star review: Pros: Seven Needle Design: The 0.35mm seven needles of the WDT tool are ingeniously crafted, ensuring uniform distribution of coffee grounds in the portafilter. This results in a more consistent and even extraction, elevating the quality of each shot. Eliminates Clumping: One of the standout features is its ability to eliminate clumping effectively. The fine needles effortlessly break up any clumps in the coffee grounds, guaranteeing a smooth and even bed for tamping. User-Friendly: The WDT tool is incredibly easy to use. The ergonomic design allows for a comfortable grip, and the needles move smoothly through the coffee grounds. It has become an essential part of my pre-brew routine, taking only seconds to create a uniform coffee bed. Sturdy Build: The build quality is top-notch. The stainless steel construction not only gives the tool a premium feel but also ensures durability. It's a tool that feels like it's built to last, making it a worthwhile investment for any espresso enthusiast. Enhanced Espresso Flavor: The consistent distribution achieved with the WDT tool translates to a more balanced and flavorful espresso. The precision it offers has noticeably improved the taste profile of my shots. Easy to Clean: Cleaning the WDT tool is a breeze. The design minimizes any grounds getting stuck, and a quick rinse under water is all it takes to keep it ready for the next use. In summary, the WDT Espresso Distribution Tool has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Its thoughtful design, impeccable construction, and the positive impact on espresso quality make it a must-have for any serious home barista. If you're looking to take your espresso game to the next level, the WDT tool is an excellent investment that delivers consistent and exceptional results. A solid 5-star recommendation from a satisfied coffee enthusiast!

Sturdy tool for improving coffee distribution
Color: Black
For those who do not know what this tool does: The Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) is a distribution method for espresso making, by which you use the tool to stir the coffee while it sits in the portafilter. You should use a portafilter funnel of the same size to avoid spilling grinds. The stirring action breaks up clumps and evens out the density of coffee within the puck. The result is reduced channeling and more even extractions. Who needs this tool: Those without a conical burr grinder, where the oil and variety of grind sizing may cause clumping, will benefit from this tool. Those with a decent conical burr grinder will find minimal benefit from this tool. I'm using a Breville Pro and do not see a huge improvement myself, for example. Quality: The build quality of this tool is excellent. You can add from one to seven needles, with many folks saying three is the sweet spot for best distribution. I've been using it for over a month and none of the needles have bent. The stand is solid aluminum and well-made, but it doubles as a protector of the needles. I just clean with a quick rinse and a wipe before returning it to its stand. Outcome: I did not realize most of the info above until after purchase. So my puck is solid, the pull is clean, and my coffee tastes great with a Breville Pro. However, this tool has a minimal amount to do with that. It is a worthwhile tool for those with a lower-end grinder, especially non-Burr grinders, and it is aesthetically-pleasing and well-made, which is why I rate it 5 stars overall. It also is of good value compared to more expensive variants.

Top quality tool that improves espresso extraction
Color: Gray
Fantastic and easy to use. Stand sits on top of espresso machine and the WDT tool is always ready, no unscrewing. Upgraded from a screw-shut version and couldn't be happier. Comes with extra needles which I hope to never need. Easy to recommend
