Default Lets see your intercooler setup

Moving onto the cold side of my build, looking for the best setup for my A2A intercooler for my twin turbos. Intercooler is a treadstone 3.5" core 25"x9" with 2.5" inlets and a single 3.5" outlet. How is everyone mounting their intercooler for optimal airflow? Layed back parallel with rad and condensor, or parallel with front crash bar? I am already planning to notch the crash bar for better flow, and probably make a custom shroud up top that will force air throught the coolers instead of around it. Looking to see some other setups. Most people keeping the cradle at stock height? Thanks for any input on keeping those IATs down!

I used 2 garrett cores to make one vertical flow unit. 2.5' in on both sides and 3.5" out.

Looks like a great setup. What brand/model intercooler did you use? Did you have to modify the bumper cover to make it fit?
