Have a look in the guide section, fmic related stuff is very well covered.
You mention brakes, that goes a bit beyond the scope of intercooler installs, are you looking to upgrade your chassis as a whole..?

With a stage 2, 266 brakes really aren't that great.. set a few on fire in the past so definitely worth the upgrade to GTi brakes at least.

Yep, if it'll go behind the bumper you just need to make a couple of brackets to hold it there.
