In need of opinions on the best fitting front mount intercooler that allows me to keep stock fog lights and AC working decently on a 1ga.

This is the front mount that came with the car

Not sure what brand intercooler this is, but it doesn’t allow me to keep stock fog lights, and is pretty big. Worried about air flow for condenser. Plans for the car are 20lbs of boost on a hx35

I think I have the same intercooler on my 1g. I put the fog lights a bit more outside by using only one factory mounting bolt and make one more supporting bolt. But I had to cut to trim the bumper and remove the crash beam. Before I had the A/C with this intercooler. This intercooler's end tank got blown with a couple of 50+ psi of boost pulls. I reinforced the end tanks. (1st/2nd pic)
I had an ETS 4" street intercooler, that allowed me to have everything, the fog lights, A/C and crash beam. Since mine was 4" thickness, I had to trim the bumper a little bit, and I don't remember very well but maybe I needed to push the fog light to side a bit, too. (3rd pic, without the crash beam)

Cool thanks! I didn’t realize i could have the fogs that much further out, and the bumper still fit!
