New"ish" approach to cooling

So I went with the robispec cooler for my one stop cooling solution... BUT...

With the installation of my turbokit and radiator all the little plastic pieces that prevent air from going anywhere but over the radiator and condenser are now non-existent so...

When i get the car back I think i'll be removing my bumper and with the help of some paper board creating templates for diverters that will keep ALL air that comes into my fish mouth going straight over the FMIC, Condenser and then the radiator.

Then get the Siebon TS hood paint matched :P

thoughts?

also the drivers diverter will have to have levours cut into it (backward facing) so my filter can suck air from that area)

Yep, air guides are important and worth investing the time into getting everything sealed up and flowing correctly.
