Looking at the pipes, I assume it does not connect to stock intercooler?

(While Forge FMIC does connect)

The VF stage 2 IC setup uses both the stage 1 FMIC and utilises the stock IC much like the forge twintercooler.

I can barely find these pictures on VF site (by copying the link from your message), but I cannot find any prices, and no description of Stage 2.
