It may look like it in the pics, but it would require re-locating or eliminating the latch, and no room to go forward at all, unless you lose the grille supports completely.

I've dropped the no intercooler idea, I'll just drive it with low boost for now. As it sits the latch is right on top of the intercooler without a tank. Plus adding the lower tank would hang below the front bumper, it's exactly at the bottom of the bumper now. Probably go twin vertical intercoolers.
