N00B FMIC Question

Hey everyone,
I was looking into upgrading my front mount intercooler. I wasn't looking to update it a whole lot, just something that looks a little better.

Can you guys help me pick one that's between $100-$200?

I was wondering if a universal front mount intercooler like this would work:
EBAY LINK


If so, would I need to buy any other pipping, or would it just replace the one on my 2003?

Thank you sirs.

Do you already have a front mount, or do you want to upgrade from a top-mount to a front mount? I think most people won't recommend you to upgraded to a FMIC unless you are running a bigger turbo. Keep in mind that extra piping will create more turbo lag.
