I was going to ask a similar question. I have the complete front off my car at the moment and with the bumper support it might be a bit difficult -but anything is possible. Another idea I was playing around with was to buy an old intercooler from a truck wreckers. It won't matter that much if its been damaged in an accident as these things are so big, they can block the sun. I measured the standard intercooler and its 500 x 380 so just cut this size out of the truck cooler. You can then get a reputable alloy welder to weld up some end tanks. I'm sure the design can be improved upon - sorry SAAB, the flow kind of hits a wall on entry and exit. Have a look at what Abbott and the crew is doing to get some ideas.
So now we have a thicker (I didn't mention that part but get a thicker cooler) that flows better than the stock one for half the price of the HKS job and it will fit in the stock location. Win win win
