I'm going to have to cut my front bumper support out a good bit to accomidate for my ic. Can I see some pics or get some feedback from people that have done this. I was just planning on using a hand grinder with a cutting disk or possibly taking it to a freind who has a cutting torch. Any tips or comments are welcome. Thanks

 

many ppl cut their bumper support... just use an angle grinder with a cutting disk.

 

i strongly considered it but i managed to fit it in wihtout cutting it by fabricating some mounts but anyone with a larger intercooler kinda has to.

 

1st ic i cut it to fit, 2nd ic was like double in size so i ditched it all in general.

 

<--cut bumper support. Just make sure that after you chop it that you hit the exposed metal up with some paint to keep the rust away.

 

i used a dremel with the cutting blade .. i didnt have to cut much. still took a long *** time tho. use a cutting wheel or plasma cutter if you can .

lol. i bet it took forever,. even with a sawzaw it broke many blades and took a while.

yea remember the paint or primer too

 

I thought I would have to cut mine with the Precision AS1025, but it fit.

Do you have any pictures with the bumper off of how you mounted it up? How low to the ground is it?

right on, my bumper is held on by 2 zip-ties and it sits on top of the intercooler. The IC IS the bumper supprt...

 

While installing my greddy type 24 and after using like 3 cutting wheels on a grinder, I whipped out the cutting torch, and viola! Doesn't look pretty, but nobody see it anyways.

 

just take the bumper suports off there dead weight

 

Just take your time with a a hand grinder and disc..

 

That is exactly what mines looks like to a Tee....

exactly how mine WILL look any shots of either of ^^^ your guys front ends with the bumpers on and ic behind?

 

plasma cut cut that **** like a warm knife in butter

 

here is some shots kinda crappy....




some other teg shots

 

Hot pics Mike.

I didnt have to cut my front bumper support bc I have a pansy revhard FMIC
Doesnt it serve for protection in a frontal crash?

 

i believe they are 10mph bumpers, so anything over 10mph its useless?

 

Check my Sig for Bumper Support pics.

I sliced my bumper support up to fit my I/C.

Do not own big power tools so I used a regular Hack saw to do the big parts and used a grinder to do a little grinding to make it look purtty.

 

took about 5 min. with a plasma cutter. still going to make a support at the bottom of the intercooler. this intercooler is really heavy.
