I currently have dibs on maierapril's FMIC and am awaiting the dimensions of it before making the transaction final. When I get those I will post them up here, but in the meantime I would like to know if you think it would fit behind a stock bumper. Hopefully a few of you have seen it in person and will have a better idea until I can get those dimensions to you all.

Also, is there any disadvantage to having an intercooler this big on only ~8 psi?

heres some pics:






Will I have to cut for it? if so how much you think? It wont stick out the bottom will it...?
Well thanks for the help in advance!

dont know about fitment but that could make you may lag with it that is a huge intercooler and getting air through it effectively might be a problem

You will have to cut or remove the bumper support in order to get that to fit properly.

no way its gonna fit... there is a guy on here who has a little a$$ intercooler on the front of his car and it barely sticks out under his bumper (RD2) his intercooler is like half the size of that one. if you look on the blue car, the front bumper is huge... probably another 5 inches lower than a stock bumper... that thing is gonna hang like a horses d!ck

get a kit... or a new front bumper. there may be a way to squeeze it on up higher into your bumper but im sure you are going to have to cut something else out. all i kno is thats a big friggin FMIC and our bumpers arent very big at all
