Evo IX front bumper question

Has anyone fit a Buschur Race (4") intercooler behind an Evo IX bumper? I'm considering converting to a IX front bumper but not sure about fitment of the intercooler because it's so much of a tight squeeze on the VIII.

You have to shave the crash beam to make it fit. Mine will arrive on friday so I'll let you know how it goes.

The BR race FMIC is 4" thick. It can't fit with the crash beam and it's an extremely tight squeeze even without it. I just want to know if anyone with a IX has installed one with no problems.

Bump. Still looking for anyone with a IX front bumper with a Buschur Race FMIC or any 4" thick intercooler.

I have the buschur delux IC and I had to shave the rear of the bumper (behind the intake ducts) about a half inch for the bumper to fit..
