Yea man I can dig some pics up but how I did it is:

Looking at the engine of the car standing in front of it, the charge pipe come out of the throttle body and loops to the right. You have 2 fuse boxes over there. both fuse boxes are held in by a plastic cup. the fuse boxes slide out of the plastic cup and the plastic cup slides out of 2 little grooves in the sheetmetal of your wheelwell. under there is a hole big enough to fit your 3" intercooler tubing through. So after the piping comes out of the throttle body and turns to the right it will then turn down and go through that little hole that was covered by the fuse boxes. once it goes down about a foot you will want a silicone coupling there when you join your next piece of pipe. So after you loop it down into the whole it will then make a bit of an angle towards your intercooler and plumb into the drivers side of the intercooler.

From the head unit you will use a 45 degree coupler and that will give you a straight run to the left with your pipe. Use two 90 degree pieces of tubing and plumb it into the left side of your intercooler. Make sure you dont' use any 90 degree couplings because if you do you will blow them off or out. Besides that, pressurized air doesn't like to bend. I will dig up some pics tomorrow and post them.
