Greddy stock mount intercooler
If i install the Greddy intercooler which fits in the stock location how much hp gain or what advantage will i get over the stock intercooler? Is front mounted better or this one also makes a big difference compared to the stock intercooler?

Can't tell you the HP gain but can tell you what I know:
I beleive it's twice as thick as stock.
The intake tube rubs my silicone radiator hose. So if you change to silicone, you need to retain the rubber sleeving.
It is held on with one bolt.
It is intended to be used with the stock duct. It reatins the stock shape and the stock ducting fits perfectly.
You can get a Pettit duct but I do not recomend that if you currently have the stock one. The stock duct will cool your battery and the AC condensor thingy. The Pettit requires cutting/trimming and some sanding and still overlaps the core and has gaps.
I think it's good for 12lbs, unless maybe you use the stock duct then maybe 14lbs but I don't have the stock one anymore and mine will heat soak when I drag race at 14lbs.
It is CARB legal. The only other IC I know of that is CARB legal is HKS FMIC.
Too wide for the BLitz intake kit. I use this combo but it's not screwed in to the heat sheild.
I would only recomend if you plan on running 12lbs with stock twins and retain your stock ducting and/or if you have an auto. Otherwise spend a little more on a med' like the M2 or CWR but use a battery wrap and a gell filled battery.

As far as a front mount compared to a stock mount. It really depends on what you are wanting to do with your car. Just do a search here in the forum for "FMIC SMIC" and you'll see plenty of discussions on that.
Either way it's a good mod to do. It helps to redue the amount of work your turbos need to do.

Just my 2 cents.

Can someone confirm ? Otherwise, I'm looking at a Trust/Greddy SMIC.
