So, we were going through every possible situation on getting the bumper back on WITHOUT having to cut it. In the end, we ended up cutting about an Inch and a 1/2 off of the right side Intercooler piping.
The pipe coming off the end tank on the right side, I would recommend you not tighten completely yet, until you do Bumper fitment test. You may need to twist and rotate that pipe if need be, so that it can fit properly underneath the bottom vent hole.
After we got it cut, and rotated the pipe some, it fit perfectly. So, so far as far as installation goes, you will not get the front bumper to fit on the first go around. So you will have to play with it a little and make adjustments and if you are against cutting the bumper, you can cut some of the piping instead. The pipe we cut was the right side (Driver side) "U" shaped pipe.
I probably will do some driving impressions/thoughts once he gets it all broken in, and a new clutch in the car so he can beat on it a bit.
He does not have the standard Dezod S1 kit, as he has the ITS Dual Ball Bearing upgrade turbo instead of the one that comes with the S1 kit. He is on the base map, and reading 8.7 lbs of boost currently.

I have already done that part for you. I said we cut roughly an inch to an inch and 1/2 off of the U shaped pipe. Use a form of measuring obviously...

We only ran into problems with fitting the driver side of the bumper back on. So that is the side we trim up a little on the pipe. Try fitting the bumper back on first before ever needing to cut anything. Also try adjusting pipes first before ever cutting anything. Then after all else and you are still having a problem fitting things, make a decision on whether you want to cut the pipe, or cut the bumper.
Also, almost forgot to mention, that if you decide to cut the pipe, be sure to file down the end where you made your cut. File it down so that it is smooth and no unwanted metal shavings are left on the end.

Here's my story
The only problem I had with the kit had nothing to do with Dezod. Jet-hot left all kinds of coating everywhere inside the threads on the manifold. Every one of them had to be chased out, something that would be a problem for the average garage install and needing the taps.
I did not trim my bumper at all. having said that I had to unbolt a few couplers and move the pipes around a bit (turning them about the center line of the pipe) to get a better fit. Things are a little tight against the bumper but the bumper did go on. My friends turbonetics fit very similar.
Things were pretty clear cut and went together very nicely. As always, compliments to Paul for keeping me up to date every step of the way. PM me if you have any questions about the install or dyno ect.
