Lightbulb C30 1.6 Inter-cooler UPGRADE

Hello everyone!

Im from portugal and currently owning as my first car a volvo c30 1.6 R-design from 2012!

Im starting to feel the lack of HP...
Im going to add a second(right side) exhaust for looks and chip tune it to increase performance.



I was wondering if i should do an intercooler upgrade!
From what i found out, the stock intercooler should be: (658x157x40cm)
And maybe a bigger one would increase boost and overall performance.



I want to pay around 100/150 euros for a REALLY better one. Im expecting getting AT LEAST +10HP

I've checked really thick aftermarket ones for T5 with (570x170x76cm) that cost 700 euros, and im obviously not going to spend that money




So what types of intercooler that are compatible with my car would you suggest? anyone done it?!
I hear for focus RS might fit but are not that big...

HELP ME! THANK YOU VERY MUCH

MERRY CHRISTMAS BTW xD
