Default Front mount intercooler

This has probably been asked and asked.

Front mount? Which one to go for? People say someone is running big power on eBay jobbies. So many to choose from.

What pipes are best?

Also can I keep standard airbox as mine has been modded so bottom has been taken away and a bracket made to hold panel filter.

Thanks guys

Hybrid HDI from Harvey and no you probably can't keep the air box.

I want / need FMIC, but v worried that the cheaper ones need a metal bar at the front of the car to be cut. I would not be happy with that myself.

So APS / Perrin seems the way forward.

I have an aps, no farting around trying to make it fit its perfect and it will make over 550bhp easily should you ever go that route.

I'm fine with the power I have really 340. But just thought it would be better to have a front mount to help with cooling.
