Will someone please explain to me, with a front-mounted turbo, how an FMIC has a lot more plumbing than a TMIC?

Its on the right side, beside and slightly further from the grill than the radiator. I'm looking to upgrade the intercooler because the car struggles in hot weather. I thought that was due to the heat soak.right or wrong?

BTW do you know what the stock boost is for the Swift? 8 psi is what I thought. I'm told that the tuning box does not change the boost levels directly, but read that the Pete'd Elantras were showing higher than stock boost with the tuning box.
