Converting to a single FMIC would be a nightmare your best bet would be a FMIC that is really two IC cores welded together. Still its going to pretty hard to shoehorn in there and a plumbing nightmare. I know guy in the UK that had Miltek look at it and they said it couldnt be done at least with the stock bumper.
And thats not an RS4 bumper its either a Lltek or a SGI.

Actually a dual mount setup like Rich was talking about is not bad. If you switch to the 225TT intake manifold you will actually have less piping than a front mount. The pressure drop is normally the same through one big intercooler versus two smaller ones. The main benefit of the side mounts would be that they would not block the radiator. Some people have noticed higher coolant temps with a front mount. Air wont flow through something if there is no free exit.
Of course none of this has much to do with the original topic of intercoolers for the S4.

Anybody with a welder can do it for you you dont even have to be able to bend pipes. When we used to do intercooler pipes in Virginia we just got a core and a bunch of pre-bent pipes from Burns Stainless. We just cut and welded what we needed. You just have to figure out what material you want it made out of and find a welder than can do that material. Aluminum is usally the most difficult not many people can weld aluminum. Mild steel is going to be the easiest to do but youll have to coat the pipes to prevent rusting (it will end up looking like the passenger side pipe on Billys silver Golf above). Stainless is the shiznit but expensive.
