Searched, but couldnt really find a definite answer..Will mounting my front license plate in front of my FMIC hinder anything performance (i.e. block significant airflow to the intercooler) wise? I just don't feel like getting harassed for no front plate

 

Just mount it to the side. I don't think it will hurt anything though

 

that's what i was thinkin..wouldnt the air just flow around the license plate

 

Yeah, unless ints right up against it.

 

yea, i think i'll go try it and see what happens

 

it would affect cooling if directly infront

 

I put mine off to the side and how big is your IC

 

i've been seeing alot of mixed responses so im going to just see for myself

 

Intercooler Size - Thickness: 2 1/2", Length 27", 5.5" Height, 2.5 " inlet, 2.5 " Outlet

 

its a small intercooler and if its not a quality piece then it might be an issue but it also depens on how much boost your going to run and what size turbo. if your running a small turbo and trying to crank the boost then intake temps are going to get high if the intercooler isnt working 100%

 

It is rather small you should be ok and should not have any cooling issues either. I didnt have any when I ran the smaller IC but when I started upgrading to bigger ones damn did that block flow to my RAD

 

my turbo is small and i'm bosstin about 7psi daily driven. i just put on the license plate back on. imma see how the car runs for a couple of days and if i notice any significant change. Thanks for all the replies

 

you wont notice change just put the plate on your fine

 

yea i actually didnt notice any change at alll..even did a couple of runs today, still pulls like a motherf**

 

This may be silly but did you touch your cold side charge pipes to see if they were any warmer after a pull now that you have a license plate in the way?

 

on 7 psi there isnt going to be much heat generated so there probably wont be a noticable difference to the touch

 

You would have to atleast use a infared temp gun to know for sure, unless your hand is a thermometer

 

I took mine off because of high temps and got a ticket so I had to put it back on. F*** the police!

 

high temps? i dont kno, i havent noticed any difference so i'll just leave the license plate on..better than a ticker
