I see that Matt needs info on Intercooler placement.
Photo included with my install onto the Nissan CA18DET and a redesigned front mount frame.
Both the Radiator & the Intercooler are rubber mounted to the frame, in compression, not tension.
Air inlet to the Turbo will come over the Turbo to Int/cooler pipe, then turn to the center & into a Pod Filter,
mounted to the new frame. There is 8" clearance to the front body oval air intake from the frame.
NO Body Modding required !!!

I'm retaining the original cheapo intercooler for now, which is considerably smaller than yours !
The throttle body outlet is also at the firewall end, so the pipe routes & lengths to the front end wouldn't be pretty.
I'll be ducting air through a NACA on the bonnet into an airbox, with the cooler mounted at an angle behind the passenger front wheel, exiting into the sill.
Not ideal.. but it should work.
