thinking of changing my intercooler to a front mounted. is there a best place to get this done as don't fancy doing it myself and is it expensive to do and will I gain any benefit from doing it?

No real advantage at the power level your car is running. I have a Type R classic and I am just upgrading the top mount intercooler for one off a Hawkeye STI (being fitted by Andy Kindon). Hawkeye STI Top Mount is good for up to about 400bhp
