   Which way should i mount the intercooler for the best way to route boost pipe?
   
   
   
   
   A mate of mine reckons the top picture the way its sat would be best. The pipework to tb can go straight up at a angle and to turbo can just slope down to minddle and under cooler and rad then up to turbo.

   I don't think it will work any way...
   The best way I can see is to chop off the one that points up and re-weld it the opposite way so it's pointing down. Then it would be almost ideal.

   I know exactly what you mean, if one inlet is the best way then the other is a pain, like for instance how you say to have it is for the one inlet facing downwards to turbo but then the other would be facing outwards from the car.
   
   I'll see if i can find anyone who can weld ali and can then chop that part off at work on saw.
