Half the intercooler isn't in a direct flow spot... just how it goes. The air still moves behind the bumper. What size turbo are you running?

If your running a stock turbo then that FMIC has more airflow than it could possibly need.

Generally I just cut out the center portion's upright.

Bumper reinforcement has to go for sure.

For me, I don't even have a front bumper right now, lol. who needs it? just adds weight.
