Stock DSM's on average run twice the boost than the average boosted Honda does. They make 210hp from the factory, and have 33% more displacement than all civic motors. That SMIC should work fine, but you're right... intercoolers are a lot more efficient when you place them where the most air flows. SMIC's are more prone to heat soak if they're not placed well.
