GQ Water to Air Intercooler and Intake manifold.

I am wanting to do some work on upgrading my air intake system on my 88 GQ TD42t, and have been trolling alot of the threads on Intercoolers, intake manifolds and air boxes to try and work out how I am going to go about it. I have found a lot of info all over the place and was hoping we could glue it all together into one thread.
I would be very interested in hearing from people who have a ready to go kit which I am able to purchase as a package, but if we have to go about it individually then so be it. Im looking for the intercooler, modified air intake and an airbox, I am guessing I would be looking at a 3" intake system from the snorkel, and probably down to about 2"-2.5" at the intake manifold.
MY GQ is in NZ, so I am trying to find a kit which I am able to ship over here and install locally. I am aiming for about 180-200RWKW, as I have already fitted the turbo and have modded the pump in preperation.
What do you guys think?

I think you need to search, the info is already in one place, somewhere else. :)

Hey Mike, Thanks for the prompt reply. As I stated in my question I have already been searching this forum al ot and have found good bits of info in all corners, but what I was hoping to acheive here is to put the whole intake system into one thread rather than a thread about airbox's, a thread about intercoolers etc.
Like I would like to fit a Patroldocta airbox to an W/A intercooler from Northside to an airintake manifold from somewhere or does anyone have any good info on what I need to do to have my air intake manifold customised locally?

Stalker, Northside does a modified intake manifold as well and if you are already buying the intercooler from him why not the manifold as well.
