I have a turbo I'm going to install after painting the fox and all of that jazz.my question is...do I need to get another bumper to have the intercooler fit? Or will the original bumper work just fine?
My buddy keeps telling me to get a gt front bumper because it is meant for stuff like that...but I don't ever remember a fox coming with turbo out of the factory lol

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Depending on what kit you have, you may have to trim your factory bumper cover. Some kits require more cutting than others. I would do the cutting and whatnot before you paint the car.
As for the Gt bumper, the fender spats are different and you would need those as well. It isn't a simple change the bumper conversion.
