Will this hurt the air flow to the turbo and inter cooler? I do not like the big hole in the bumper with nothing to protect the inter cooler from bugs, rocks and trash!

If you do the math it will block as much as 40% airflow but I have seen them all over my other F-150 forums and even from dealers. I would take the hit in performance (even though people are reporting none) just to protect it. Go for it.

Alot of guys on other forums say that it does reduce air flow

One of our members on F150OL did the exact math measuring bar width, thickness, etc and came up with a 40% decrease, but per Bernoulli's principal, the air would just rush in faster due to the restrictions, and from other places- hence no performance loss.
