Hi Willie

Looks good! I see that on your right side diverter on the top your missing a bolt. You will be leeking air there if you don't put a bolt in there.

Its used to help reduce the intake temperature...

...this therefore improves the power of the engine...

...or if you prefer...

...it helps reduce the amount of power lost due to higher ambient temperatures.

Not sure about reliability...

...although I assume it helps the life of the supercharger.

Yes if you leave the bolt out you will lose power (maybe upto 5bhp? )
early GTT Intercoolers were M5 thread, later ones are M4
