Topgunz - air to air upgrade

Does anyone know if there will be a problem fitting the A2A intercooler if I already have a 19 row trans cooler and 25 row oil cooler. From the photos

Does anyone know if there will be a problem fitting the A2A intercooler if I already have a 19 row trans cooler and 25 row oil cooler. From the photos I've seen, the intercooler goes in front of them and the crash bar is removed to provide room.

I'm ready to go A2A.

Do not delete the crash bar as it's there for an important reason. You need a crash bar! To make enough room and give my A to A intercooler some clearance my shop removed a few mm of the inside of the stock crash bar and TIG seam welded it so it would still be rigid and do it's job, if ever required.

Another option is to use the Fast Intentions crash bar. It fits perfect right out of the box. Not cheap but VERY well made. It's FI, what more would you expect!

Is there any weight reduction with the FI crash bar over the OEM?

Well, even if you take off the OEM crash bar you still have one. An intercooler is solid as hell. It's a boxed aluminum piece with internal supports. It's just an extremely expensive crash bar that would cripple the car if it got holed.
