306 hdi intercooler set up

[lolsteve]

Not meaning to hijack, but saves me starting up a new post.
Just got a intercooler of ebay for good price however inlet pipe on the right hand side is pointing up and down on the left hand side , the opposite to what would be ideal so I have two ideas on how to solve and was wondering what people would think would be best

Idea 1 : use 45 degree bends to get the ends pointing the opposite directions like so


Idea 2 : use the direction of the inlet and run pipe along the top and bottom of the intercooler
