Twin Intercooler ?????

if you want that much cooling, do an oil cooler and a fuel cooler

Next time your fueling up just drop a couple of ice cubes in the tank, same with the valve cover. (glare) I'm just kidding. Seems like alot of piping and routing of tubes therefore a potential loss in pressure before the charge reaches the motor. However STS remote mount turbos run boost all the way from the back to the front of the vette.

theres a difference obviously though between a v8 and an i4 regarding how quickly the turbo will spool up

the sts also doesn't have an intercooler at all. that makes up for a little of the extra tubing.
 
with the duel pass are you talking about running 2 intercoolers up front ??? one in front of the other ????
 
And upgraded intercooler has a .5-1.5 PSI pressure drop across it. This means that the engine will still see 15.9 PSI, but at 1.5 PSI loss, the turbo will only have to put out 17.4 PSI. This will reduce spool time, increase efficiency, decrease intake temperatures and prolong the longevity of the turbo.

So basically by upgrading the stock TMIC you're not only getting more power and spooling faster, but actually reducing stress on the turbo as well? Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

No. A double pass is an IC that has a U bend at one end (meaning the inlet and outlet are on the other same end), so the air passes by the core twice. Having 2 seperate ICs makes no sense at all, imo.
