such as? water/alcohol injection?

Most interesting...

From how much boost onward can you see a real advantage to using an intercooler?

I'll be sure to follow your progress (bit of a turbo n00b), I am most likely going to go turbo next year, then use and abuse this engine till it's really dead, then swap it...

It is dependant on turbo manufacturer, wheel efficiency etc. BUT on say a T25, you will need to see 10 psi and above.
Otherwise the alky injection will create a denser mixture without all the need for complicated plumbing and additional weight to be added to the car.
More importantly, these cars were not designed for large front mount intercoolers. Thus, you would be creating a problem with the airflow going to the radiator. It would block 90 percent of the incomming cool charge and may cause overheating and damge to the engine.
