3sgte and gt4 hood, a few questions

Now I am saving for the 3sgte swap, and purchasing my body kit soon. I want teh erebuni z glide. Now, will i have a problem with the intercooler needing air? So my real question is, how much and where can i purchase the gt-4 hood that doesnt need the bumper to not have the gap? Or can I keep my stock hood and not even worry about it. I guess my three options are: 1) z glide and gt-4 hood 2) gt-4 hood and bumper (hella $$) 3) Just z glide kit (im hoping this will work, if not, how hard is it to make the tmic a fmic?)

Actually -

the 6th Gen GT4 has a W/A top mount intercooler, and becasue of that the 6th gen GT4 hood actually has exhaust vents and not a scoop to force air over the intercooler...

So... if you plan on buying a 2nd gen 3SGTE with a top mounted A/A intercooler you will need to either fasion a proper scoop to force air over it, or break down and get a FMIC, unless of course you get your hands on a W/A intercooler.

If your cash strapped you can run low boost (6-8 psi) without an intercooler until you sort that potentially $$$ problem out.

Or you can mount a fan over A/A IC
