Opinion is split here but basically if you go for a GRS, Pro-Alloy or Pace (front mount) you won't go far wrong.

I personally use the Pace item and am very pleased with it

Default intercooler

i purchased the Pro Alloy second generation front mount intercooler, since fitted i have bin over the moon. it woz a bit expensive but the quality of the product woz unbelievable. I would go for the pro alloy 1 but i am fond of the PACE and the GRS equivelents. Its ur decision mate, all three of em r top notch. i fitted my pro alloy myself with ease thanks to the fitting instructions supplied. Its a 3-4 hour job but if its ur first time then a day will be enough. just make sure you check the fans r blowing and not sucking, otherwise you will be getting some overheating and thats not wot u wana c once u hav spent top dollar.

Pro Alloy coolers are good for about 1 bar of boost at the most

The flow is really good but charge temps are VERY high
