AA Supercharger-sagging bumper

IzzyGray · 10-15-2014, 08:30 PM

Hey all. So I DIY-ed an Active Autowerke Supercharger Gen 1 Level 2 kit a few months back. During the install, I noticed that the oil cooler really had to be pushed hard backwards for it to sit right enough to be bolted. With brute strength, I got it to fit, but in turn, it causes a slight protrusion on the bottom. When I reinstall the front bumper, it fits fine, but the middle bottom part of the front bumper is pushed downwards due to this protrusion. So far I've not had a problem with this since all my splitters has been one layer and it bends slightly to conform to the bumper. HOWEVER, I purchased a splitter that doesn't bend as much and it's giving me trouble. So instead of making it fit, I'm wondering if I could just fix the original issue(the ill fitting oil cooler). Has anyone ran into this problem? Maybe I installed it incorrectly?

Do you have pictures of the oil cooler fitment prior to bumper installation?
