It isn't unsafe, but you car will most probably loose performance.

The standard intercooler just cannot handle that sort of heat dissipation.

Wait for your cooler boss ;)

I personally wouldn't. If intake temps are too high it will promote detonation which is bad. Just relax until the FMIC arrives mate.

as above trying to push that much air through what it more like an interheater than an intercooler will increase combustion temps and depending on ignition timing and other variables can cause detonation which will bring an early end to your engine.

wait till you get a front mount.
