If you want it 'all on show' go for HKS, APS, TRUST ETC, if you want it hidden go for PACE.

Everyone has their own views on 'performance' of these bits o kit, some say bar and plate is best....research

Two types are available,
plate and SHELL
and Extruded tube,

extruded tubes tend to be more efficient where as the plate type tends to offer less flow resistance.

is it more compact than air/air?

Chargecoolers are more consistent than air/air IC's, certainly for a car in "real" conditions, but an FMIC will show better figures on a dyno (only due the air they direct onto an FMIC).

Pace do a universal chargecooler kit that they claim keeps intake temps down to 30C for about £500, half the price of their FMIC kit.
