Default Intercooled Whipple question

I know that a couple of people have intercooled whipple setups. I am trying to figure out what would be best to use to adapt the intake piping to the intake manifold. The whipple unit faces the compressor outlet, so there isn't room to run a tube to an intercooler and then back to the intake manifold. I could fabricate something, but I don't want to do a bunch of metal fabrication if a ready made part already exists. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks for the link. interesting read. I guess I will just have to get out the plasma torch and mig. I was also thinking of moving the MAF to read air after the compressor. Does anyone know if this will cause any problems?

you will be breathing in unmetered air from the pcv system if you don't put your throttle body after the maf

Good luck man

Thanks for the input. Now I just need to find a sensor to plumb in and get true IAT readings.
