for those of you who have this intercooler, will it fit without cutting the bottom of the bumper like shown in the instructions if you mount it with different brackets or fab up your own way of mounting it? Maybe angling it?
I just did mine. The ONLY area I cut on the bumper cover is right behind the plate filler area. I had to trim both "splash guards" due to the truck inlet hat needing room and then the other side close to the race valve and the pipe leading from blower to blow off valve.
I also had to slightly trim the long narrow piece that is directly below radiator on the passenger side to allow for the piping to fit up. Hard to explain but NOTHING fit like they made it sound like it would. Instructions never stated to remove the splash shields that I could tell of but I saw no other way.. Not happy but what can you do giving what I did.
As for the BOTTOM of the bumper (where the 3 push pins went into brace I think) I just have mine resting on the bottom of the intercooler. It is kinda wavy. When I get bumper back on after fixing my meth leak I will take a pic and show if wanted.
I haven't cut anything on my front bumper and my IAT's haven't been bad. I'm only running about 5psi, but have given it some good pulls and they stay reasonable. I do have a massive air filter off the blower inlet that gets cooler air from underneath the car though.
if my intercooler was mounted up a little higher i wouldnt have had to trim my bumper. But the way it is i had to cut the bumper just like the procharger instructions state .
