Re:Side Mount?
Mine is going to be side mounted a week from today... 
There's two inlets, one on top and one on the side. I have mine mounted on the passenger side behind the bumper and in front of the wheel. Top inlet goes through the hole for your air intake and the other one kind of goes into the engine bay from beneath. It's a tight fit, but it should work (although my IC pipes are a bitch and I have yet to get it worked out).
I don't have any pics and it's hard to describe. As far as mounting it, I had to break some tabs off to get it to fit, JB welded some rubber strips so it didn't rub against the frame and added a bracket on top and a stud of sorts on the bottom... It's ghetto, but it works. I am doing a test fit tonight and tomorrow to finish off my IC piping and I'll take few pics.

Re:Side Mount?
Bracket Top, Stud Bottom (See the scratches on the frame by the motor mount? That's why I JBWelded rubber strips so the SMIC wouldn't rub or break).
Top Bracket close up
Bottom stud close up (this is actually a bolt from the other side with those sharp, gear looking washers and a nut to keep it in place) Add a few washers and a nut to mount.
You get the idea...
Rubber strips (one on top, one on the right side)
Mounted
Top View
With charge pipe in place
Bottom View
The turbo to IC piping is going to be a pain... That's what I'm working on today. I'll post another pic when I get it figured out. I have to relocated the clutch cable/line (don't know what it's called) and I think my charge pipe is a just a few inches too short...
