Default Intercooler mounting places

Is top mounted (TMIC) or front mounted (FMIC) the only options?
I've seen other car forums talk about DSMIC, which after some digging I found to be Dual Side Mounted InterCooler. Is that an option on Imprezas?

Personally I'm not upgrading my turbo (or engine, I'm happy with my 315BHP MY 98STI), so no need to touch the IC, but I like to know and could be good topic of conversation (and there are some who might like to know).

You can also fit a Charge cooler with a front mounted heat exchanger.

Please excuse my ignorance, could you elaborate a little on what that means?

Have a read of that. I'm considering it myself.

That's good reading, and gives another option working with a TMIC.
