I remember doing a fmic on an S4 and that bumper sheetmetal was a pita to get out, but yeah it had to go to fit that big ass intercooler. Custom pipe routing sucks on those cars, absolutely no room for error.

BIMMER 328 - I plan on taking it up to NOVA sometime to get it an an AWD dyno - most of the Stage 2+ S4s with my similar setup are laying down around 290-310awhp. Im curious to see what it would do, but I may just wait till I go stage 3 and aim for 425-475awhp+.

Re: $400 + 5 Hours = New Project...
Back when I was an adjuster I had an old lady who'd bought some riced out POS civic from one of our many area car lots. She liked how it looked and was upsed when she hit someone and I had to total the car. Well, there was no bumper beam and no absorber at all... nothing, so the car basically tried to split itself it 1/2.
FYI your mods are covered even withough an endoresement on your policy... it's the law. But they're only covered in the event of an accident. If they're stolen, and not on the policy, they're not covered. At least this is how it was 2 years ago when I was in the business, things may have changed.
Odd that there's 2 inlet and outlet pipes.... Jay'e VR4 is twin turbo but the charge pipes come together then go into the manifold, then the one pipe out goes to the intake manifold.

Yeah all the S4s have 2 inlet and outlet pipes, the VR4 I guess has a somewhat different setup.

in defense of the cut out bumper cover, with those dual core IC's you have to make sure both halves get equal air exposure, otherwise one bank gets hotter air then the other. BAD! thats why whenever possible if im doing a front mount thats dual core i use ones that run vertical instead of horizontal. this way if the ic is shrouded at all both cores cool equally.

LOL yeah your year does not really have turbo blowing problems as much if I recall correctly it was the couple years before yours. I bet it feels nice though I'm sure you've been up the mtn. once are twice
