Default Front mount intercooler

I had a question for you guys with front mount intercoolers. When you put these in are you cuting out inner steel bumper to make them fit? Thanks.

I'd just do a large air/air intercooler.


If you see detination(which can happen at any boost level depending on tuning) try methnol injection. I've seen some good results with this kind of setup.

I cut mine similar to Country Boy & then cut the top center out & raised it about 1-1/4" with some angle steel (old bed frame) for extra ground clearance.
