Oh man, your car looks great with that new front! I can't wait either. Yeah, it did take a while to do. I took one day to fit and bolt the IC in and think about how I wanted to do the ducting, then it took another long day to actually build all the ductwork stuff.
Where to bolt it in? In the driver's side bumper. Look at the pictures labled "Bottom Bracket" and "Top Bracket". The "bottom bracket" picture is a view from the bottom/front of the intercooler - that bracket is bolted to the frame. The "top bracket" picture is looking down at the top of the intercooler, from above the engine bay - notice the fuse box in the top of the picture. Those are the only 2 bolts holding the IC in there.
As far as the piping is concerned - here's the list. I just copied it from my Excel spreadsheet, so the columning is a bit whacky(all bunched together). FYI - The column titles are: Description, Name,url, Part Number, Price, Quantity, Total. Some columns don't contain data - like for when there is no part number, or for the recurring items within in the layout list. Also remember that I'm going to be welding the bends together to get it to fit right, so if I say something like "some of this and some of that" it doesn't nessicarily mean that it's just one piece of pipe - it could involve welding multiple sections to get the pipes to fit right.

). I already figured out what all pipes/couplers I need and where to get them. I'm going to use all mandrel bent piping. It'll be 2-1/4" from the compressor to inlet. A short mid-pipe from the outlet to the big hole that used to be for the intake. That one'll go from 2-1/4" to 2-1/2. Then the upper pipe to the TB will be all 2-1/2". Why so big on the upper pipe? Well, I don't like the idea of using a pipe that is smaller then my TB. The 2-1/2" piping has a 2-3/8" ID, just like my 60mm Jeep TB.
