What did those ducts feed before, just general air to the engine bay? Any other detriment to cutting off that original airflow? I guess all that air will still get to the engine bay, jus will go through the intercooler first.

Also where does air get expelled from the engine bay? You'd think that positive pressure behind the intercooler would become an issue at some point.

Yea the side scoops just provided air to the engine bay. I directed about 50% of that to the intercooler, so yea the overall flow might suffer a bit, but the upside is I removed the rear panel so air can basically just flow out the back of the car. I'll post up a pic of mine installed next week, but here is basically what it will look like:
