@CSG Mike

Can you break this down a bit more? Is the intention to;
A. redirect the air that would make it around the left and right side of the intercooler to the radiator by trimming the factory air guides around the piping and then keeping the upright plastic pieces in place that snug up against the rear side of the intercooler piping?
B. Block off the sides entirely so air can only flow through the intercooler -> oil coolers -> radiator?

Do you have pictures of this setup?
