Turbo technologies has a front mount intercooler that installs in front of the radiator. The only thing you lose is the washer fluid tank but they have a small fabbed aluminum tank to replace that too. I have this I/C currently and I am putting 500 to the wheels in an A4 car on a Mustang dyno and I am at the limit. I am replacing this setup with an OBX and have already done the bumper support and cutout mod. I will be selling my I/C in the spring but thats probably too late for you.

The Vortech kit comes with their a/w setup and it does pretty well.

I would run a much bigger FMIC if you plan to go through the bother of fabbing it up.

I agree with PSJ, it would be alot of extra fabbing for you so you might as well make it worth your while and go big. I made the mistake of "just enough"ing everything and now that I want more power (happens to everyone) I am buying stuff twice. You can always put your car back to stock later if you need to.

just my opinion.

i bought the blower, brackets, fuel pump for $600. Found a shop to get me the rest of the kit for 1800. And if i want the aftercooler its an additional 1800. I am not goin aftercooler now, this is a budget project.
