front mount intercooler
#5
theres 4 "styles" of kits
old greddy/hks style: intercooler is placed behind the core support, right under the hood latch, ideally the aftermarket turbo is pointed down (hks/greddy manifolds put the turbo further forward), and the hot side pipe goes down under the sway bar into the ic. hot side comes from the left side top of the ic, over to the right, thru the core support, and then over the intake manifold. pluses for this are; you cant see the intercooler, fits with the ac/ps/airpump.
new greddy: giant core goes in place of the bumper support, piping comes from the turbo (they all work easily) to where the windshield washer bottle was, and into the core. cold side piping goes out from the other side and under the headlight, to a 90 bend and new 3" throttle body elbow. this setup is simpler, allows a much larger core, shorter piping, fewer bends. however routing with the ps is tricky
#3: tilt the radiator back so its vertical, and you can put the IC right up in the front there, short piping runs, no cutting
V mount: ic is horizontal right in front of the engine, top of radiator is laid back to form the V. piping is way short, in theory it might work the best, although theres lots of custom work/fabing to be done. alternate might be to do it like the fd and lay the radiator forwards and put the ic on top
