There is no intercooler for it from the factory considering the turbo is so tiny and the boost is at about 6 psi, iirc. The temps don't get high enough to need one on stock levels. You would run an intercooler like any other car though. Pipe for compressed air from turbo to intercooler into intake plenum (which would be where it says "turbo" on the orange part.) I'm not sure how much the stock turbo would be good for, but I know I would most certainly want to upgrade from it considering how small it is.

yeah , i havnt heard of any 'top perfomers' from these 12a turbos ... we would hear about them more if we did . it would probably be cheaper to get a later 13b turbo . looking at a power/dollar ratio
