Oh, what you wanted was someone to spoon feed you information because you're too lazy to read. Should have just said that. Some people leave me scratching my head.....
Second, your car isn't some special snowflake, and it didn't magically grow or shrink since it's been produced, it's the exact same C7 2.0t that everyone else has, and the same parts they used will fit yours. There is nothing different about your car than someone who put the same exact part on it 2 years sooner.
I installed this on someone's car 6 months ago, it took less than an hour. I watched this video before hand. We had a lift, it might take you longer if you don't, and heck, it might take you longer anyway judging by the questions your asking. I'd budget a day in your case.

Pickings are going to be slim because you have the least desirable motor you can possibly have in your car. So it's unlikely that there is any new relevant and groundbreaking information available than there was 2 years ago. They really aren't making 3.0t stuff anymore, and the only reason these cars got good 3.0t stuff is it was the hot motor in the B8 S4/S5.
Allegedly all of the B8 stuff bolts right up too, it certainly did on my 3.0t, but don't hold me to that.
I'll talk to the guy I work with to see what intercooler he wants, but he'll probably just tell me to pick it, and I'll probably just pick the cheapest B8 intercooler kit I can find. If it's an inch too short, I'll just grab a longer hose coupler or weld some more pipe on.
Now that I'm done spoon feeding you, go read that thread.
