Here it is! My intercooler setup. The cooler is 25x7x3, with 3" inlets and outlets. The tubing is all 3". Yes its bigger than it needs to be, but the NA manifold is a 3" inlet so I figured it might as well all match, and it loooks cool.

If you look closely at the air dam, I cut out the three air intake areas to the full size that is sort of stamped into them. Before there was extra plastic flashing at the bottom and top that made the area about half as big as it could be. It should alow more air flow and most importantly, you can see more of the intercooler! Comming up through by the battery was easy, I cut the thin sheet metal panel behind the headlight just ahead of the battery, and cut into the flat area of the engine compartment that attaches to that just a little bit. There was plenty of space to get the 3" tube up through there. To take the pipe across the front of the engine, I notched out about a 1" deep area of the fan shroud so the tube could fit down in the gap between the engine and radiator. I'm pretty happy with the results, it came out pretty clean!
