![Question](https://www.rx7club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
After installing my M2 CIA I know need tocover the opening to the stock intercoller. How do I direct fresh air to the intercoller since the stock plate that draws the fresh air from the stock intake box obviously won't fit? What did the rest of the planet do that installed a m2 cia with the stock intercooler?

^ all you have to use is double sided 3m tape.
I also polished & stenciled in "RX-7" Then I sprayed the area around the stencil black.
BTW, you definately should install some sort of cover. The intercooler won;t cool well if its left open.

But for a temporary fix a sheet of aluminum will work fine.
