Diverter for bigger intercooler??
Picked up a cheap intercooler for a steal off some kid. 20$ brand new. Get to installing it and realize obviously my stock diverter won't fit it...and the alta won't either because of mounting....anyone know of a diverter made specifically for bigger intercoolers?

That looks like a GRS intercooler, which there are no diverters made for.

Well, it's ugly, but if it seals to your hood, all good, right? :D

Nicely done. It seems the art of car crafting has not been lost.
