I don't see why there would be a problem. You may have to chop some of the inside bumper away .. never tried it so i couldn't not tell you for sure.

don't cut the bumper, remove the twintercooler and fit a THS IC instead

Over the top mod list ;o)

is there much room to lift the intercooler up ?

cant really see how much would need cut to fit from that photo but it does look like a fair bit  :scared: you don't want to sacrifice the overall look.

Hehe, just because bumper i won't change the IC. There is no so much cutting to do, just small part.And yes, it won't ''hurt''  the overall look.

we will find out today
