Intercoolers that fit without ANY Cutting
Is the Wagner EVo 1 the only intercooler that doesn't require ANY cutting or does the EVO 2 actually fit? Any others?

I installed the "needs no cutting" stepped VSRF intercooler. I had to cut a corner support out of the passenger side plastic. I was annoyed, but it's not something you would ever see and it's not going to hurt anything.
I've read posts about that same intercooler where people didn't remove any material.

I installed the Forge intercooler on my car and it required zero cutting. One caveat, I did remove the flexible shroud that clips in front of the intercooler. I may have been able to squeeze it in, but it would have been a tight fit. It's a non-structural part, and because the Forge unit is larger than the OEM unit, the shroud is less critical to ducting air into the cooler. I suspect trimming this shroud would have allowed it to be more easily used, but I just left it off.

Also, CSF makes a plug n play FMIC, unsure if cutting is involved, -imported https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-5...iABEgL-SfD_BwE

FWIW, I had ADE install their FMIC. The shroud that directs air to the FMIC was cut perfectly to match the new profile. Nothing else required cutting and the shroud is a separate part that could be replaced if uninstalling.
