I If I'm in a crash I will cop it on the chin like 99% of diy turbo owners have too. If I hit a pedestrian I dare say I would be bent over whether the bumper is cut or not. As for theft, you run the risk with any car and I have precautions in place to prevent it or at least slow them down. {USERNAME} wrote: The more it's hidden the less airflow will pass through the cooler, defeating the purpose of it. As for car thiefs.... That's what kill switches/immobilisers are for haha Exactly. No use spending money on a big cooler when 100mm is exposed to airflow. {USERNAME} wrote: Wouldn't butchering the reo like that render your airbag useless? I don't think the reo affects the way the airbag works on e-series? From my understanding there is a small shock sensor mounted near the bonnet catch but it's standalone. Mine didn't come with an airbag anyway. {USERNAME} wrote: i recon the intercooler would act like a reo and absorb some on the impact pressure in an accident anyway... I think so too the core would absorb a hell of alot more than the rigid composite reo. Cheers Ben |
