Default Budget intercooler piping ideas

Hey everyone im trying to finish up my turbo setup but find myself running low on funds to do it , what are some creative ways people have done intercooler piping ? Ive been looking a lot into the DIY kits as well and even doing a side mount intercooler just to make the whole system much simpler . Someone help me out and give me some ideas

thanks

First, a side mount doesn't necessarily make it easier. I had way more problems running the piping to my sidemount, then if i had just done a front mount. they are a lot cheaper though.

You can use exhaust piping, summit sells 180 degree bends. If you have access to a welder, really easy then. Otherwise, get a bunch of silicone connectors and have at it.

Just hit up Tuner Toys,Racing Solutions or LSD Motorsports for one of there DIY piping kits.They are cheap and even if you dont have a welder just cut it and get it ready then go by a muffler shop or buddies house and get it welded.For silicone go by a hose shop,hydrualics place,rig shop etc and they sell silicone hose by the foot
