To remove the whole front bumper to install a aftermarket intercooler such as a TurboXs? Or can it be done carefully with out? Thanks

 

No, some intercoolers require the bumper support to be removed which can cause your insurance claim to be denied if your involved in an accident. However lots of aftermarket intercoolers are direct replacements that don't require the bumper support removal. Normally 3.5" and smaller dont require removal of the bumper support. Check with the mfr to be sure.

 

i dont think the op is talking about the bumper support or is he? I think he is talking about the bumper cover. i may be wrong but any person with common sense would see the cover has to be removed.

 

the whole front bumper needs to be removed, as well as the support. Now most all intercoolers can have the bumper support reinstalled, there are just a few that you must leave it off for.

 

If I took off the whole bumper I might as well take off the support too lol, but I was just seeing if there was a way around taking the front bumper off.

 

U have to remove the bumper and support beam.

 

yea dude, unfortunatly it needs to be taken off. plus itd to much of a pain to do it with the bumper still somewhat attached.

 

Well if you take off your bumper support, you might damage your expensive FMIC in those little fender bender incident. Also, insurance not will cover you, yet alone replace the FMIC since you took off the support beam.

 

Alright guys thanks! Im looking to install the new FMIC sometime soon, well when Chicagoland weather gets better

 

LOL.. sorry I read the question wrong. Yea the bumper cover has to come off to install any interooler. I dont know why I was thinking that he was asking about the bumper support.

 

this is a retarded thread..
the bumper is easy to take off why would you waste your time trying to work around it??

 

Thanks bringing this back from the past kudos to you.

 

I'm not going to lie, it's going to be a pain to mount the brackets with the bumper on, it might even be impossible!
