Intercooler or charge cooler?

[merlin's S4]

I've been thinking about upgrading the standard, useless, so called intercooler on my S4 for a while but I'm unsure as to which route I should take. I was leaning towards the big front mounted intercooler but I reckon I'd have to source a different bumper (probably from an S6) to make enough room. Even then there's the hassle of getting custom pipework to re-route the the charge air plus lots of cutting and making brackets, so I'm not sure that this will be a cheap, easy option!
A chargecooler on the other hand would probably fit in the space left by the original intercooler and I could easily fit a small rad somewhere behind the existing bumper! But can I get a good enough chargecooler install that will allow for my aim of 350ish BHP or will a larger intercooler be a much better option?

Just adding a good front mount intercooler gives 25hp to the wheels on a RS2+d S4. I did one on my past S4 and it was one of the best upgrades I did. It made a huge difference on the track. There was some cutting to be done to make it a clean install but it was worth it.
