Okay, I am finally installing my FMIC.
I am wondering what I would need for piping..I am about to order the piping from ebay....
I figure I will need 6-45degree bends, two straight pipes, and one wavy pipe to go to the Throttle body...
Is there any v6 mazda turbo guys that have any advice here?

I myself made the Mistake of buying a fmic the had the inlet on the lower left and the outlet on the lower right. (typical style)
This was a huge mess which resulted in about 4 feet of total piping

dumba$$ move
I dont remember the exact dimensions of my intercooler but it did mount perfect with my Kmax front bumper looks amazing
For functionality i would used a stock side mount style the k8 turbo video on you tune looks real efficient..
Most common would be a normal front mount with the inlet and outlet on the left side
Idk if this is what you were looking for but hope it helps
Pics of my front mount
