Nope apart from intercooler not getting enough cool air

As above, the TMIC needs a flow of cool air. If you have a FMIC then you can put one on, Da_one on here did it for the sleeper effect.

As above but if your running a front mount it doesn't matter. Will increase under bonnet temps though chap.

Why not just go for standard turbo bonnet. I've seen a sleeper before looked crap was running 300bhp guy was strugling to sell it, because it just looked like a sport.

Bonnet wouldn't take long to swap over if kept though.

Go for it then see how it looks. If you don't like it theres plenty of turbo bonnets knocking around
