Trouble fitting 3.8 ets garret core fmic
I brought my car to local shop to have them install fmic. They said they need to trim at least an inch in the part of the front crash bar to make it fit, but that will make the bar useless. Any body here have any tips to make it fit with the crash beam on.
Thanks
Thanks

My custom ETS with 3.8 Garrett core fit fine with no changes to the crash beam. I only have to trim the two tabs where the bumper cover bolts into as they would hit the end tanks.

We treat the 3.8" just like the 4.0" intercooler. We have a lot of customers who say the 3.8" fits just fine w/o trimming, but we also have customers say the 4.0" fits w/o trimming. But the majority of the 4.0" guys require trimming or removal of the bumper beam. I imagine it's the same with the 3.8"
The only intercooler we say fits for sure is the 3.0" and the 3.5"
We really don't like to even sell the Garrett intercoolers, the Garrett's always leak from the factory and take a ton of time fixing to get them to hold pressure to our specs.
