Older sr20 engines have it on the hot-side
newer (s15 engine) have it on the cold-side,
however, both of these are using SIDE MOUNT systems, which minimizes plumbing volume (the bypass is able to rapidly lower the pressure in the intercooler because it is so tiny). Once you add an large intercooler or larger pipes to the system, you can not longer keep the bypass on the cold side due to higher volume, i.e. the turbo will surge while it waits for your bypass to empty the huge intercooler.
