volvo intercooler installation

After reading several different threads, I've seen basically two types of installations for the volvo intercooler (there was a sideways mount but there must be problems with this because I could find only one installation). First is the ranger radiator allowing the ic pipes to run on either side with the plumbing going to the stock locations of the turbo and intake. This requires a lot of bends in the pipes. Second is a ranger radiator with turns in the turbo outlet and the intake manifold so the plumbing is a stright run from the turbo outlet to the ic and from the ic to the intake. This looks like a better install but requires cutting and welding and moving more things around. I'm leaning toward the first type of install because putting together bends and pipes seems less complicated than cutting and welding. Which is best?

put it in front of a ranger radiator from a junk yard. go to the exhuast shop and pick upa couple straight pieces of pipe 2.5 in. look on ebay or go to www.racepartsolutions.com and pick up a couple hoses two 90s, two straights , and one angle. go to http://www.stinger-performance.com/ and look at the piping he has for the volvo fmic and npr as well. just to get an idea of what you can do he has pictures of it.
