you will be fine mounts just like it was from the factory, and no you will not have to replace you stock IC only if you wish to upgrade like me

From what I've read it should be a direct replacement and work with the factory intercooler.

Yes, it will be fine. You should upgrade your intercooler hoses while you are at it. Worth every penny.

One more vote for no porblems. This is the set up Zoeb (02blackwrx) is currently running and I belive he puts out something in the 270whp range. SsTiNgEr77 even uses a VF22 with a stock intercooler with no problems.

Yup, like Chris said...stock intercooler on my VF34 setup with all the supporting mods....a larger TMIC would be good, but is definatly not needed.

Yes, definatly upgrade all hoses, including the turbo inlet hose...

Hell you can even run a Green on stock top mount but it's obviously not gonna be as efficient and you can't run as much boost on bigger turbos + stock top mount.
