i think he is wanting cold/fresh air for the turbo to suck in...right? it doesnt matter, the turbo will compress the air and make it hot either was, just run an efficant intercooler...

you could just route a charge pipe off the inlet of the compressor housing to the fender well side of the car similar to a cold air intake, to suck in nice fresh air, rather than the engine bay hot air.

ok

I was thinking to put it on the front of the bumper, but someone told me that when it rain, if the water reach the compressor, this can make dommage to the turbo, so really don't know where to put it...
