Default Intercooler setup question

So I've got the kraken kit and a 6258 is on the way. I'm trying to decide how I'm gonna make this intercooler setup, im going for low power right now as it's a stock motor then later I will buy a 99-00 motor and do a small build on it. But am asking what should I do for my intercooler setup? Theres alot of different options, I just want to see what other have done as of recently.
P.s. I'm keep PS and AC

Have you read this thread?

Scroll down to intercooled. The science hasn't changed. You can go look at mkturbo's site or flyin miata and see how they routed piping for ps/ac. Try a search as well I have seen a lot of threads on pipe routing. It's hard to mock up if you are DIYing until you have the manifold and turbo mounted.

read the ebay intercooler thread and decide on an intercooler/mounting option, decide on a configuration for the pieces that will attach directly to the intake manifold and turbo (fittings, etc), install the intercooler and, then mock up your route with sections of cardboard strips of the same width as the outer diameter of the appropriate intaking piping size and measure lengths/angles, add a couple inches to cover your *** and then order everything from Intercooler Pipe Fabrication

Really depends on your ability to fabricate. You could save yourself the headache and get a prefab one from MKturbo and tons of other choices. I currently have FM intercooler and will be making new hot and cold side piping for my EFR build. I'm not really a fan of having a lot of couplers in my piping.
