Radiator return pipe relocation

I'm doing a 1g-gte into the ra23 as most of you know and I need to relocate the radiator return pipe on the ra23 radiator. I'm just wondering what's the best way to do it and is there a specific position it needs to be in?

seriously, if you are doing it you should try and use the ga70 radiator.. espically if your planning on runinng a big single pump 30odd psi like I think you are.
I just did the 1g conversion and I used the standard radiator shearly for speed of conversion and the car cooks in hot weather like I had today 35C and sits at half on normal days, it does ok but you cant go to hard on the turbos or it produces too much heat.
relocate the top pipe to the passanger side of the filler neck and the bottom pipe from the passanger side corner to the drivers side corner... you will see when you try and sit it all in there.

Well, I would use the ga70 radiator, however, a) does it fit and b) I don't have one. I thought the pipe relocations were like what you were talking about, however I dont' know how to go about relocating them, I mean how it's actually done. I'm thinking I might go and get the thing triple cored and then get them to relocate the pipes.

or push the motor soo far back that it sits between the driver and passanger and then you have heaps of room
