In most cars, there is a lot of stuff that will scrape before an intercooler would.
you would not believe the intercooler (ic) piping i've seen on some poorly built kits...the piping would literally hang 1" lower than anyother item on the car (giving it 1" ground clearance)...upon visual inspection of the pipe it was bent and scratched to heck and back again with holes causing boost leaks
if you have this problem just even raising the car will only help a little...ic piping shouldn't stick out below the engine bay nor should the ic b/c it can be easily damaged just be a speed bump you go over slowly
