While I’m all for keeping as much stuff factory as I can, if you’re looking into supercharging your car you’re going to have to make some sacrifices. Surely strapping a blower to the front of this isn’t what the engineers intended either.I've worked with engineered and manufactures and I can assure you, they don't spend money on parts, materials which they feel aren't needed. But, you do have the choice to do what ever you feel like doing to your car.
Just so happens, my 19 is a PP. Lol. If I get to a point when installing a mod, I will design a way to make the most work, but still meet the intent of the manufactures design spec. That's just me.Lol relax.
they don’t even come on cars not equipped with PP.
I didnt even put the bumper beam back on after I installed the intercooler....
If I need to take the bumper off for anything in the future I'll get a smaller chromoly bumper support, but until then I'll take the weight savings.
I'm not sure all the "stuff" you've added to your car meet the manufacturers design spec.Just so happens, my 19 is a PP. Lol. If I get to a point when installing a mod, I will design a way to make the most work, but still meet the intent of the manufactures design spec. That's just me.

That's exactly what I said! lol. dont really plan to take the bumper off until I possibly replace the g3 intercooler with the yet to be released g4 spec. Both me and my buddy are seeing like 35-40F rise in IATs on 1/4 pull.Intercooler is the new bumper beam, probably stronger lol.
So you're saying they're releasing a G4 specific intercooler?That's exactly what I said! lol. dont really plan to take the bumper off until I possibly replace the g3 intercooler with the yet to be released g4 spec. Both me and my buddy are seeing like 35-40F rise in IATs on 1/4 pull.
They are currently testing a larger intercooler. They posted it on the ESS Facebook group.So you're saying they're releasing a G4 specific intercooler?
The G3 and G4 currently share the same 3.5" intercooler right? Would be nice to have an even larger IC option.
Damn that’s nice!They are currently testing a larger intercooler. They posted it on the ESS Facebook group.
Also, you guys running no front bumper bar are crazy. Hopefully you don’t get in a front end collision.
How quickly are they dropping down after?That's exactly what I said! lol. dont really plan to take the bumper off until I possibly replace the g3 intercooler with the yet to be released g4 spec. Both me and my buddy are seeing like 35-40F rise in IATs on 1/4 pull.
That's good to see. I'd probably just run that larger IC even with the G2 kit.They are currently testing a larger intercooler. They posted it on the ESS Facebook group.

More cooling is almost never a bad thing, so I’m with you.That's good to see. I'd probably just run that larger IC even with the G2 kit.
And agreed on the crash bar. Just run the steeda/bmr crash bar. It's only ~$130 and you save 10lbs.
