front mount intercooler, what is needed?

I have an 03 wrx and was considering getting a front mount intercooler, I do not much about it, meaning I do not know what I would need, but I could figure out how to do it hands on. What all would I need and would I be able to use my aftermarket bov? by using a front mount intercooler do you get more horsepower, and is there a specific brand you all recommend, TIA all

You don't need a FM intercooler until you get more power.You won't get more HP.You get more lag.Get other mods first.

forget power, you need a brake/tire/suspension job.
