What size intercooler do you have?
Here are some pics of my first FMIC install. It's basically a hit-or-miss type deal with cutting piping, but this should give you an idea of what type of angles and whatnot is needed.
90* coupler off of IC inlet and 90* pipe connected to that.
Another shot of the 90* pipe. (I eventually had to add some length to this pipe to get it farther down)
I believe this was a 60* pipe connected to a reducer coupler onto the turbo.
Other side of IC, 90* coupler on outlet connected to a short 90* pipe (basically I cut the bend only from the pipe they included).
Straight pipe to bring it up toward the TB area (I had my BOV flange welded to this pipe as well).
I reused my AEM short-ram pipe for this top section to connect it to the TB, but you could probably use a 45* pipe with a 90* coupler off the TB to connect them also.
I should really put this in a writeup sometime because I always post these pics whenever someone asks about IC piping routing haha.
