:thumbup:

But for some reason, I don't like the look of a FMIC behind the stock sedan bumper... I think it'd look with the black grills all cut out...

Agreed. Josh, switch to the the opening bumper (not sure what it's called). I had it on my coupe, big opening in middle, two on the sides for OEM foglights! :thumbup:

This is true to a certain extent, but if the intercooler is too big for the turbo you can lose pressure as it passes through.

Think of it like a water pipe system. It starts out small so the water is just gushing through, very quick moving stream... then it opens up into a huge pipe and the water just trickles into the larger pipe.

It's the same principal as exhaust systems, you don't put a 4" pipe on a n/a application do you?

Exactly. :goodjob:

I've thought about doing the coupe front end conversion, but it's a fad now... I already do JDM so I can't be in another fad. :chuckles:
