Supposedly the Greddy ones fit great but they cost ££££. Heard mixed reviews about the Autobahn88 kit - some say it’s perfect, others less so... The thing I hear people moan about the most when it comes to fitment with these kits isn’t the core but the piping. Could be worth picking up a decent core then getting some custom pipe work made up - at least that way you know for sure that it’ll fit right!

I wish there were some good side mount options but there aren’t. Greddy used to make a monstrous side mount but it’s long discontinued.

I think it depends how handy you are as a DIYer. if you can mount the intercooler close enough to the radiator you shouldnt need to trim the bumper. I took about 40mm out of where the centre grill is in mine but my cooler is really far forward as i used the mounting points it cam with and made up a simple bracket but think i could easily move it back 60-80mm.

I've got a cheapo on mine that was fitted by the previous owner which fits without any hacking of the bumper. I'll try and remember to get a photo, can;t remember the name but it is stamped on the top of the core.

I have had both the autobahn88 and the blitz se , the quality of the blitz is immense and I believe it fits behind the aero bumper with little to no modification
