All of the kits out there come with the the option of a front mount intercooler.
Another popular option is to get a Starion IC (fairly cheap from a junk yard) and modify it to fit our car and get some pipping made.
The diameter of the pipe for the IC will pretty much depend on the diameter of the openings on the IC (unless you use some kind of adapter).
As for the drop in PSI it depends on what IC you have, some are more inefficient than others.

If you are not running extreme boost levels(16psi+), then 2.5" piping may be a bit too big. You will need the velocity of a 2 1/4" pipe...

what happens if i do get 2.5 it will just not work ????

thanks

It will still work, but your going to have more of a pressure loss through your piping, and it may take you longer to see boost. With the bigger piping, it's that much more area for your turbo to pressurize.

Can someone give me the bends,pipes, sockets, EVRYTHING i will need for the starion intercooler? I will be running 12psi
