It fits a treat, the brackets shold already be there ready and waiting to accept it. You will need the correct undertray between the scoop and TMIC though, most people (like I did last month) will sell them together.

Power might increase by a couple of HP because of reduced pressure drop across the intercooler but the air will be cooler (if moving) so reduces chance of det and reduces power drop at higher ambient temps.

You would have to re-map to take any advantage (more fuel, boost and ignition advance) LOL
