personally i was going to get a Mach 1 hood for mine when i had the stock intercooler. looks like this one
the left vent should pass a bunch of air over the intercooler in the stock location.
but if I were you i'd save up and do a front mount of some sort.

it would be easier/cheaper/more effective to front mount than to buy a hood that is effective. (mind you even with an "effective" hood, heat soak is still a problem in the stock position.
