FC Turbo 2 intercoolers
Does the FC Turbo 2 come with a front-mounted intercooler and a top-mounted intercooler, or does it just come with a top-mounted intercooler?

OEM is the top-mount.

I see, looks like I got confused between the radiator and the intercooler. Is it possible to run a hybrid intercooler setup that consists of both front-mount and top-mount intercoolers?

I suppose it’s possible. Practical and effective is a separate question. A lot of fabrication and packaging. Probably some cutting and cost issues. Proper ducting is key to any IC. Not likely a lot of gain to be had by keeping both.
