just make some custom brackets and mount that bitch in there. If I got mine to fit in my 5g civic believe me you can get urs to fit. Mine took a few hours to do and had to cut the backside of my bumper out! Haha its all good now though.

i think you should put it where the resinator box goes. if it doesnt fit, make it fit. HMT, its all about custom work!!! just find the closest spot tp put it in, then if you gotta cut metal and ----, DO IT!!!

Don't forget the purpose of the Intercooler. To COOL the air. It is going to be most effective down low and where it is in the direct stream of air. Custom mount it in the bumper. Otherwise, why bother ruining your flow?
