Here is a shot of the front of the car with the new intercooler. It definitely opens some space on the sides for some airflow compared to the old intercooler.

I am still not convinced it is the intercooler causing the problem. There are plenty of people who have done 3sgte swaps with FMIC and have had no problems. Here are some photos of when Tweak'd used...

If it ever stops working as good all you need is some nasal spray.
Now that you say it, it does look like a big nose. I hope it doesn't need an inhaler.
