How did you work it? Curious minds want to know. Is there an adapter for the housing for the coldside piping, or did you have to fab and weld everything yourself onto the housing?
BTW, that car is absolutely BAD ASS.
Here is the fabrication process I went through. All from scratch.

Alright project has started. I baught a kit last night 31x12x3 with 3" inlet outlet. Gonna try a little larger than Mike did with the Pipe 2.75" as 3" just didn't seem possible. The issue with 3" is the area at the end of the intake just can't support that. I'll take some pics when I get going, right now I'm just mocking things up and making plans. I will try and keep the bypass in place, which will make it a challeng for sure, but will be worth it in the end. I'll be visiting some shops for welding estimates. I may even spray meth in the discharge after the I/C.
I realize here that I will have to do some more work to get the 3 in outlet inside the bolts, But I have 5/8 in above the intake and I will use that and open part of the top. The clay represents how it will look up top.

Alright got some work done today. Prep work for the Intercooler and pipe should be in Monday. Radiator and A/C condensor is out and I made the opening at mouth of the front cover larger and clearanced some areas for 3" pipe. I'm pretty happy with how that came out the opening is much larger now and should cool the I/C better. I used screws to pin the mouth up to the bumper support and drilled holes in the bottom and used zip ties to make the lower lip thinner. The Blue tube I used for the mockup for the aluminum pipe is 3 inch and I decided to try and make 3 inch work, we will see what happens. The bypass had to be removed, I just could not make the inlet fit above it and clear the hood. I will fab it up to the inlet pipe some how when I get the welding done.
The pipe connecting to the manifold had to be flatened and sqaured and cut on 2 angles to fit, took alot of work but fits nice.
Passenger side U bend.
