ok so i had an epiphany for you turbo guys out there. I dont knwo if this would work but if it was possible run the intercooler tubes for a turbo along the passenger side floor board. could go from the firewall straight down under the seat with rectangular tubing all the way to the front of the car and run a scoop or somethin for the intercooler like the ls6 beast has for the radiator. Maybe im thinkin too big here but we wouldnt be here if someone didnt think too big

Hmm, maybe if you duct air from the front to an under-floor mounted cooler back at the engine bay? That would (hopefully) get you clean cold high-pressure air to the cooler, but you wouldn't have the long run of pressurized air to a front-mounted charge cooler.

You'd lose some pressure and flow to the ducting, though. And it'd be tough to keep it from being damaged on speed-bumps, among other things.
