If you decide to keep the original intercooler you have to go for the smaller BMC-CDA...NOT the big one (which I have on my Bella).

You can locate it in the same area, where you now have the factory air filter box. Basically you need the 90 degree pipe, so that the turbo inlet pipe will face the front of the car...and there you mount the BMC-CDA which has to take its air next to the radiator. You have to drill some whole in the plastic around the radiator.

ps: 138bhp and 330NM is "nothing" for this car.
