fitting intercooler... quick question

[mk3-4-me]

so ive seen on many photos where ppl have taken off the front frame bar thing to fit the intercooler in. I ddnt know if that was just taken of for pictures or if u dnt need it on. cause that bar covers most of my intercooler and iwould rather it be off. so i guess is it ok to leave it off?

I don't think you could leave it off. Your bumper cover attaches to it. Maybe you could get something custom made to replace it. I would also think it's there for safety reasons.

thats there in case of a crash. I personally would leave it up. you're not gonna get any quicker from loosing it and unless you are running a really thick intercooler you should be able to fit it in there

This is how I did mine, perfect airflow to the entire core and I recently had the misfortune to crash test it

It stood up fine, I wouldn't drive a car without the Reo bar in place.
