Just a heads up but I went to install this before starting my change tubes and noticed that we already have a diverter that directs and traps air around the bottom of the intercooler. There are even rubber flaps that sit flush on the bottom and along the sides to box it and part of the radiator in.
Picture time!
You can see the tabs below, where the OE air dam/diverter lines up with the bottom on the RS' facia. Its even curved/dips down in the center like the grille.
Here it is completely removed, its just held in by push plugs, but its really stuck up in there. It took some work getting it out. The top parts go all the way up to the radiator hood and index along side it, essentially boxing in the entire radiator/intercooler.
Here is a shot of the two together, I looked at ways to maybe use both together but I ran into another issue, two pictures down you can see the intercooler end tanks stick out a little to mount the OE Diverter, this prevents the DDM Works one from sitting flush even if you remove the stock one.
Unfortunately Im now the proud owner of a DDM Works intercooler diverter with no car to put it on.
