FMIC, or a larger intercooler generally sought as a performance upgrade: demand a higher boost pressure from the turbo, lots more gear generated, hence need of better cooling.
Of course - for the latest technology hi-efficiency ones you need one that is Bluetooth enabled, AI powered, and Smart linked to the internet :-D

Looks like the same side twin pass might be the way forward in terms of routing piping. There is lots of space behind the bumper on the mk1 c4 but fixing it horizontally will be a pain with the mounting points being on the top and bottom of the cooler, going to have to get creative with some flat bar the grinder and welder 🙄😂
Yes, I'd think a bit of flat bar would be just the ticket for a decent mounting frame.

Lightweight aluminium angle would also fit the job I'd think.

I would love the vts 180 but would need a tanker to fuel it doing the miles I do 😂.
