Message	intercooler is dented on the bottom. I must've run over something, although I don't remember anything like that. And also my passenger side intercooler is SLIGHTLY dented on the bottom in a similar manner (no pics of that one). How big a deal is this? Is this common and are they still plenty functional? Can these OE intercoolers be repaired or is it a waste of time? If I buy larger aftermarket intercoolers but still have stock turbos, that wouldn't cause any problems would it? I'm low on funds at this point, and I still don't have the car put back together, so I need an affordable way out of this intercooler jam IF I really need to do something about it. Thanks for any insight!
