There's a small plastic undertray already, but I think I'd prefer to replace it with something better eventually.
The opening is pretty important if I don't want to melt my pistons. The radiator is behind the intercooler and both are vital to engine cooling and therefore engine life.

I rev high alot of the time
Motorway cruising is when I tend not to use the boost.(you sort of get adicted to the acceleration)

I got them from here. Although quoted for my car, the base plates are wrong and so need modifying slightly to fit.

At the moment the standard ECU is looking after everything. Standalone management is further down my list as the one I want will be about 3-4000$ depending on options
