It is an STS turbo (rear mounted). Try a search, there is a lot of info on these.

The word is, you don't need an intercooler because the tubing coming BACK to the motor is so long it essentially works as an intercooler itself. I guess you could mount an intercooler where most people mount one if you felt the need for it.

does that mean no you dont have to run one over 9lbs or are you just comfused granted you could prolly get away running race gas and a good tune and go up to 15lbs...but why would you take that chance?
