There is no "Standard" piping for Top mount.
Turbo position is vary due to different manifold options, outlet position is vary due to different turbo models and your clocking choices.
Since intake manifold side wont be any different, why don't you get a kit for your engine/chassis and modify turbo side pipe to make it work.
I did it 2 years ago. I needed to buy 90' coupler for turbo outlet to straight pipe (bought it from ebay with HKS BOV flange on) and 45' coupler from that pipe to existing pipe from IC.
Not the best pic but you get the idea..

it would been much nicer if I welded pipe instead of using that red 45' couple.

Just buy a intercooler kit for your car like said above. Then once you install it figure out what bends you need for the hotside..usually with a sawzaw you can cut the old hot pipe and use the bends it has and reconnect with the couplers you would need
