Default TC and cooler ??

i've been toying with the idea of getting a TC, but i have one question.

i have seen a friend's cooler and where he has it mounted. but i have the SSRA and i do not think a cooler would fit in that spot ( near the splash guard to the right side of the vehicle )

so where else are my installation options ??

i have mine mounted at the bottom of the car.. right after the front bumper, behind the little plastic 'guard' thingy.. uh. does that make sense?

mounted dope style also. it works very very well when on the highway, and will only heat up a little when in traffic. I'm still toying with the idea of finding a small fan to mount above it for when i want to manually cool it further

Mine is to the driver side in front of the radiator. Mounted right to the radiator. I ran the lines around the passenger side of the radiator. Working good!
