Run your piping through the core support on either side of the radiator.

No, intercooler piping through the core support.

Take a look at the pics at the bottom of page 1. I did my IC piping like stated above to leave room for ducts.

Beside the radiator works very well if it is ducted to the front of the car, This creates a very high pressure area which is great for feeding brake ducts.

Also if you run a splitter the high pressure zone just above that is also a great place, and is usually low enough to clear any parts that fit inside your normal body line.
