You don't have to UD/BD the intercooler, you can do whatever you want with it, including front mount. But like Dean said, you have to keep the stock BPV. I would recommend the STi topmount over the one Dean has (sorry Dean) because OEM-style tube and fin cores will cool off much faster after getting heatsoaked. A thick bar-and-plate core won't cool off until your run is pretty much over.
