"top" mount intercooler setup

[Ian]

well, the time is coming for me to finally ditch my ghetto fab piping
seen here


but here's my dilemma.
I have a precision front mount intercooler, which basically requires me to either waste money on a hotpipe AND custom welding...or just get fully custom pipes, for probably 400 dollars or so.

I was thinking the other day, why not just do a V mount? The piping will be super short, making performance and throttle response dreamy.

here's my idea


as you can see, it's a fairly simple setup

on top of this of course, there will be a large drop vent in the hood with some ducting worked around to seal it (probably just bend the metal down some, possibly fiberglass a little and a rubber seal around the intercooler


is there any reason this wouldnt work out just fine for me? since it's so far ahead of the motor, i figure w/ proper ducting there would be little to no heat soaking...and due to the location of the venting and everything, there is no reason to worry about water getting in the vent in the hood
