i have a some questions. how can a intercooler help my turbo i now that the stock turbos are capable of holding around 10 psi to redline and around 15 psi before dumping in hot air. if i put on a front mount intercooler lets say a medium one or a large one can this hot air be change to cooler air or can my car at 15psi hold up better or cool the air more than the stock ones? sorry if im a little confused :confused:

A front mount wont do anything to help stock turbos. If anything it could hurt performance. You dont want to go front mount till you have decently larger turbos. DSM sidemounts would help though.

They will allow you to run more psi efficiently.

However your stock turbos are
A) not large enough pump out any more psi effectively
and
B) may not even be able to pressurize a FMI, like Stealthee mentioned.
