hey guys again , I need your suggestions about the intercooler size, something that will not need that much modifications in the car, a 4" will fit right? but how about the height & Length ?

thanks sactown .. that's looks great ,I can't tell the size of it from the pic but if you don't mind could you pass the size and the horsepower capacity for it ?
A little search i found that I might install 24" x 13" x 3.5" without removing the factory bumper support. the thing is @ summer the temp here can goes up to 50-55c so I really don't want to take any risk with the intercooler plus the radiator <-- that's also I need to find a good aftermarket replacement

Typically for turbos, yes you do need dyno tuning. If there's no-one in South Africa doing it, then you might need to do some data-logging and remote tuning sessions to get the tune dialed in. I know there are several tuners who are comfortable with remote tuning sessions, I don't know who to recommend though, but Sactown's tuner has done some remote tuning I believe.

Shaun at AED (Shaun tunned my car) does remote tunning or you can hit up Lito off the s197forum, he does remote tunning also, I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Many thanks @danzcool @sactown and everyone else, really appreciated. I couldn't start with this project without your help. I will contact Shaun & Lito.
