Intercooler air flow

[steveobes]

Hi guys
While cleaning the car yesterday, I noticed a large gap between the
top of intercooler and the clam.
Now im no expert but it would seem to me that a lot of air that should be
going into the intercooler is going over the top and going into the rear of the clam.
Has anybody blocked this gap of and seen any benefits i.e lower intake temps.
Going to get some thick foam and block up every gap.
surely cant do any harm in trying.

That would make sense.
Cant remember mine ever having any.
Also iv noticed that the rubber gasket that is on the top of the
intercooler surround box really does not seal properly against the clam.
Think I need to sort this out.
