Question need opinion

hey, im about to do the N/A to turbo conversion and im looking for some opinions and or help. ive got the turbo charger off an 88 Tii with the exhaust manifold and im ready to buy more parts. my question is would it be better/easier to go top mount or front mount intercooler? i want to get this thing installed and installed right, but my job and where i live wont allow me to keep my car in the garage for like three weeks.
i appreciate the help and the comments. must make my car faster and faster............ but i dont want to kill her.

If I were you I would go front mount intercooler. That way you can keep your N/A hood and look stock, but not be! Muhaaahahaha. I'm not a turbo guy so I'm not really sure but I think the front mount would probably be more efficient.
Good luck maybe someday I will go turbo.
