i think the biggest problem with the TTI street kits IC is the placement.

Also the front of his car is completely open.

Agreed...i found this out by moving it around on my 1st DIY set-up... the intercooler core/end tank set-up is great....but it doesn't get good airflow where TTi puts it.

I have the 4" thick OBX style intercooler....got really cheap off of a vendor from Turbomustangs. They now carry the crossflow style for better flow and for the same price...check them out.
I also have a camaro and i still have the foam in, just trimmed out an opening for the intercooler. No cutting on the bumper other than the opening for more airflow.
