Cold Side Intercooler Piping idea to shorten it up a lot !!

Ok so people are always are trying to make the intercooler piping shorter. A few companys have been able to shorten both of them considerably but it seems the top pipe is always the big problem. So i was thinking people always say the only way to do is is to cut away at your head light and then it most likely isnt going to work very well. But what if with a turbo kit that lets you keep the stock radiator by a half size on and instead of putting it on the air filter side keep it on the passenger side. This way you can get the hot side inlet still on the bottom for the intercooler and then for the cold side reverse it so that its on top and have about a 2-3' shot right to the intake manifold. Im going to draw up a picture and see what buschur can do considering he said hed do a custom through the head light so this will be way easier and still keep your headlights. With the advantage of a very considerable amount smaller in lenght. What do you guys think if you can get what im saying. Ill get a drawing up to help the idea out.

But they put the radiator on that side to make room for that turbo. so if you put a thicker rad. on the pass. side, then you won't have room for the turbo. and i/c piping will be the least of your worries.
