http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq229/tazmaroonia/IMG_3997.jpg?t=1309627609The attached picture is shows a crack in the drivers side of my intercooler. I have a couple of questions:

1). Do I need to remove the bumper to r&r?
2). I've read a couple of posts that suggested using epoxy to fill the crack may be a fix. Has anyone done this?

Previously, the car was giving me a P0243 code, so I replaced the transducer. The car has not given that code (or any other codes) for awhile now. Last time I tripped it was when I ran the car up to about 85mph. I still have a "rush of air" sound when I accelerate and suspect it is due to this crack in the intercooler. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
