ER Intercooler & Shroud

Hey everyone,

Just installed the ER Intercooler. Works great and fits pretty good. Only issue is, where am I supposed to tuck this shrouding? If you look closely, it's just kind of sitting on top of the intercooler.

Keep it?
The only time I would consider removing it is if you have issues with high IATs. But it's supposed to direct air towards the radiator.

It is. I was gonna cut the part sitting on top of the new intercooler. The pictures aren't the best.

He kept his over the intercooler - Ideally I would assume you would want to keep it though, it keep the air around the intercooler from below, and towards the radiator above.

I guess it can just sit on top. Doesn't really matter. It was just bugging me.

I like it! My car doesn't feel like a dog anymore. Here in PA it's been 90 and very humid. Heat soak was ridiculous. You'd get maybe one pull and be done. The cooler is a lot bigger than I anticipated.
