Rs2 intercooler needs a rs2 crossmember to fit straight on or you can mod the s2 crossmember if you are handy with a mig and a grinder. Its a bit longer so the os fixing is in a different place if i remember right.Ragusa Coupe gone!

If you're going for more power, then yes, it's a definite upgrade. Probably not worth it if you're not going for anything upwards of 300BHP. Quite an easy swap, as stated it jsut needs the O/S mounting to be cut + re-welded. Or a custom mount made up and welded or bolted to the old IC.
The IC will give slightly cooler intake temps = more power. It'll be more significant with higher BHP applications, or in warmer ambient temps I believe.
