A different thought on intercooler pipe work?
Have been thinking about getting a supercharger for a while now and looking at a intercooler pipe work thinking i dont realy like all pipe work crossing back from one side to the other.
So without getting a reverse plenum could you run two smaller intercoolers ontop of each other so you could run in one side out the other then a U bend up to the other and then back out the otherside (the same side it came in at) and then back up to the throttle body?
The only thing i can see being a problem is the room for two pipes on the one side, any thoughts???

i thin you have to say good bye to your fog lights if you have any as it gets quite squishy on that side of the car, i really dont like both in and outlets out the same side, but intercooler manufacturers do make them...

Your thought is on the right track... but in this situation you would genarally cut off the end tanks from the ends where your u-pipe was and weld on one single end tank from one intercooler to another.
Like this (except I forgot to include the end tanks on the rhs...)
Important to have you in/out pipes at the top and bottom...
Here's another pic which might explain better..

Would it be better or worse for flow?

it is a fairly sharp bend inside the end tank of the cooler which is quite restrictive in my opinion.
it has been done before:

All ideas are welcome, intercooling setup is critical to supercharged engine performance, great to see people giving it some serious thought
