Where does everyone mount their trans coolers?

Where does everyone mount their trans coolers for a vertical radiator, front mount turbo, and intercooler? I have no room anywhere around my radiator with the turbo right behind the radiator and pusher fans in front of the radiator. Has anyone mounted it to the back side of the intercooler? I don't really want to mount it under the car because I would be afraid of catching on something you could run over.

You might look for that thread where the guy put it up
over the rear axle, with muffin fans you could do pretty
well - maybe better than up there in the heat-cluster.

Some people run the cooler "dope" style (in place of the plastic cover in front of wheel well directly below parking lamp (has door on it to access parking lamp)).

i saw a thread on here where someone mounted theirs behind the rear bumper on the bumper support. you will most likely need to put a cooling fan on it to mount it there.

It sounds like you dont have room like i have but this may help. Its mounted to the front of the hood latch frame. I will be adding a pusher fan so will have to modify the hood latch frame and probably relocate it.
