Got my car back! (classic inside)
So after a long wait for the swap to be done, I finally got my car back on monday! I had a 2005 wrx engine swapped in and it feels awesome!

Very nice 
Should you not have some sort of seal around the top of the intercooler so you gain the maximum cooling from it rather than the air just going into the engine bay?

Thanks for the comments guys. Mit I think you may be forgetting that I'm in the USA and my car came with a naturally aspirated 2.5L. It started knocking so I swapped. A local shop here called Zip Auto did the transplant for me.
q7prs - yeah I need to get a splitter but the swap was expensive, so I didn't have the extra funds to pick one up. Don't worry though, looking at bigger scoops right now and I'll order up a splitter asap.

New age engines aren't prone to blowing up unlike classic engines.
How much did all this cost and where did you get it done?
