You,re stressing about your cooler fella, 2 threads on it 
You could get yourself an STI 7./8 TMIC fitted if you,re worried, these take 400bhp, or as said, a FMIC fitted, i,ve just had this myself and pick the car up tomorrow.
Depends on what power you,re pushing out at present on your car, i was at 330bhp so opted for the FMIC, anything that helps cooling temps is only a GOOD thing imo...

I'm selling a STi top mount which is a good upgrade for yours but will need a bit of modding to fit.
(if you search, you will see what is involved)

gains as such are dependant on engine/mods, I'm pretty sure these coolers are good for upto 400bhp.
your inlet temps will be lower so you will be able to run more boost/power than you can now.
....and you won't get the lag you would wth a front mount.
