Anyone else have this problem?

Ever since I got a turbo and installed the front mount intercooler, my front bumper tends to fold inward like this..



Well tonight.. I decided to weld 2 metal strips onto the chassis to push the bumper outward a bit.




and the result..! was this lol.

Nice fix!

I have that problem too, and I believe it is due to tension. Parts of the bumper cannot clear the intercooler when the bumper is fitted, so it bends in other areas. I cut away as much as possible from areas of tension/contact with intercooler and it fixed it more or less.

check out the first pic... looks like the intercooler is pushing on it pretty good too...look at the grille in the bumper
