Default for those who did the air intake mod

what did you do with your ICM? i know it needs the heatsink still and i'm not sure how i'm going to get it out of the upper housing... haven't really looked at too much - so far i just took everything apart and i've moved on to one touch up rear window mods. oh the things you do when your bored with a broken transmission

Might be a bit ghetto, but that old CPU heatsink with its fan removed sure does the trick. There is thermal grease between ICM and heatsink, FYI.

My ICM is about 5/8-3/4" thick or so (the heatsink is big!), how large is your ICM??
