Default Front mount question?

As some will know my impreza came with a front mount. Which i was thinking off selling but that seems to be hard work so i may fit it.

My question is my car has been mapped and is running a different turbo etc.

It is also a RA now reasons im considering not too fit it are.

1.) I dont want a big whole in my bumper

2.) Will it need to be remapped??

3.) will it devalue my car?

4.) i have Intercooler spray as standered would i be able to simply extent the piping and fit it to front off car?

I dont think ill be able too as the water bottle for spray may get in way

Thanks in advance

Yes you would need a remap.

The intercooler spray would be pretty pointless with a front mount.

I have one on my version 2 sti and you do need to cut away the bumper but i dont think it looks that bad and it does away with the crappy slanted top mount.

Front mount fills the gap in the bumper, you don't have to cut the entire lower centre section away.

Would need a map tweak in your circumstances.
