Pardon my doubt, but why not? I've had both MCS and MCSa and I really don't see a difference on the topside of the engine.

Thanks, Mario; that must be why I only see the front edge of the IC
when looking thru the scoop. Doesn't seem too efficient, does it?

I was afraid the references to the auotomatic sitting higher were an issue.Does this mean I can no longer lust for a M7 DFIC Intercooler?Let it not be so!

The auto engine is definitely higher up. There was a thread about someone with an auto having issues with the diverter. He said he had raised 'dents' in his bonnet. Yikes!

90/10 all the way, That's the spirit! I hate airconditioning. Period.
It doesn't fit as it comes as others said the engine sits up higher. On my car it caused some bumps to push up in my bonnet because I didn't realize this at first. Since I had the bumps I went ahead and shaved about 1/8" off of the diverter so that it fit.

There is a reinforced rubber gasket around the diverter. Whenever you raise the bonnet, push down on the gasket to reseat it before closing the bonnet and you should have no problems.
