Ok long story short. I took my intercooler apart on accident and i still have the bottom of it attached to the LIM, i have the little radiator in the top one still that i put RTV around to make it seal. Is there a diagram of where to put rtv to put it back together or just rtv the crap out of it instead? Yes i searched. Please help I am trying to get the top of the intercooler onto the bottom with a tight seal. I dont know where to put the rtv at.

After looking at this again and again. I realize that the there was black rtv all around the inside and outside edges. I think i need to ditch the orange rtv and use grey on the bottom where it sits in and on the edges?

Or am i better off just taking the whole thing apart off of the LIM and restarting? problem is i dont know how to properly reseal this. Hopefully someone will chime in

Remove.. clean all surfaces ... clean....

Add rtv and or a paper gasket and torque at the same time you are assembling it. You said in chat you let the rtv dry overnight because you didn't have a torque wrench. That one thing was likely your issue.
