Default Intercooler help

Ive got all s2 convertion in my mk5 esc cab, and i really want to uprate the intercooler.

I dont want a massive grs, because 1. I dont really want to cut the bumper, although, if i find one i like, i would .... anyway, could i put a cossie one on, direct replacement on the s2, or a rs500 direct replacement, and notice a difference? or is it a case of spending mega money.

Thanks guys

thank you... but i dont really wanna spend 380 on a i/c... i was hoping 200ish on chipping it to 185, and then intercooler, like an rs500 one? maybe not a huge one? but that one is fantastic tho!! thanks again.

£380 might seem steep on the face of it but-
1) This is a full kit- including fans, brackets etc
2) This is truly a home fit job-no cutting or mods required, just think how much money you could save on fitting charges.
we fit one of these in under an hour!

Watch out for this kit in next months Performance ford magazine with a fitting feature and performance test
