you just need to mount the rad further forward to where you IC was, them cut you bumper to move the IC forward more its easily done,

yes it proberly is, i don't tjink your pace double capacity i/c will cope with that amount of boost pressure espically in the summer, it might be worth getting a act gauge and if it goes over 40 degrees then u know u need a better intercooler
