Was wondering whether anyone has put an intercooler further back than most kits, up against the front of the air con condensor, sat in the slightly U shaped front chassis structure, behind the upright with the bonet catch on it. There looks to me to be a big space for one here - I also believe this might be a better location having read up on it a bit, and also more stealth. Also many other turbo cars have the intercooler here OEM.

So anyone done this? Where did they run the pipework?

This one looks like it might fit in there if turned upside down, and being thinner than most cores - but don't know if there is room for the pipework, which would be behind the lights. Could be a short fairly straight path from the turbo, then back to the intake.
