That would be very difficult getting a 2 1/2" pipe down on the drivers side without some difficulty. Same with routing it under to the Y. When I start to look at doing this I can tell better.

I'd wager a TD05 or a T3/T4 car is going to be more efficient anyhow vs a TD04 car as far as boost vs heat generated. Would also need to account for whether or not the turbos on any car are in their efficiency zones.
I'd say for the average street car or drag car, you honestly may not notice a difference between the two. I suspect it'd likely take multiple back to back to back runs on a drag strip or autocross before most would start to see actual effects of heat soak.
I think the smics would flow well enough. Only thing we need is proper ducts for the bigger smics. I think it's extremly important. Otherwise half of the air just escapes through the sides of the smics. With ducting The air has nowhere to go but being forced through the smic.
Proper designed ducts in fg or cf like this I mean

When I designed my large Bell SMIC's I made sure they retain the stock air ducts. :)

Didn't ray make his big dr750 power numbers through the stock intercoolers? Obviously that doens't take into account multiple street pulls but the flow is there at least.
If i end up going side mounts I may make my own ducting as I will have a 99 bumper and it seems like i will be able to steal more air from the side vents than in a 97 style.
He never had stockers int here. At first he had the Almo smic's in there but never liked them. He upgrade to my Bell SMIC's since then.

"Ray P.'s DR750 powered 3000GT put down 653 awhp and 656 awtq running DR stage 3 heads and street cams and his car is even running stock Exhaust and side mount inter coolers for the ultimate and sleeper look."
Ya like I'm not to sure about that still. His recent 700 was with my SMIC's. Those numbers may have been when he first put the DR750's on. I'm local to him and remember when he first put them in there and pretty sure he used a set of the Alamo he had laying around. Think that's a misquote as he did have stock exhaust and maybe the intercooler piping.

Snapped a bolt on the caliper mounting bracket so now I'll get to sit there and try to get it out aomehow before I can get the bracket off. I may just buy a new lower bracket and cut this one down with the angle grinder to try to use it to unthread the remainder of the bolt that's in there. Better than buying a whole new knuckle. Since its all apart though, may go ahead and do the wheel bearings as well (had planned on putting them off till after winter.).
Between fixing the garage door and trying to fix the truck, all the extra money I had saved up for a new shell is now gone.
Edit: but wait, there's more! The last person in here stripped out one of the screws for the locknut ring that holds the wheel bearings in. Hurrrrrrrray!
