intercooler for 85 rx

Im in the process of doing a rew swap in my 85 I have almost everything I need but im trying to see if anyone have a good recommendation for a intercooler mainly on the mounting. What one fits the best n mounts the easiest n doesn't require a stupid amount of piping any suggestions would be great.

Thank you

a front mount is the easiest probably but not necessarily the best.

Ive been looking for a good single side entry and exit intercooler too. Newer VWs use one that is a good size and would make for much less ducting.

if you're gonna swap and REW, single side in/out IC's are actually gonna require more ducting since you're gonna have the turbo opposite of the intake. That is if you are using the REW manifold setup, if not then ignore my post....
