I just recently purchased the B&M oil cooler kit, Where do you think I should mount the cooler? Is it better mounted in front of the intercooler,or should I utilize the space on the side where the fog lights go? I searched but couldnt find wich option would be better. I am also running dual spal slimfans with shroud as a puller for the radiator,so I am not sure if in front of the intercooler would be best due to the fact of the fans.Any suggestion helps or better yet where is yours mounted?
 
I haven't seen these mounted in front of the intercooler but I have seen them mounted behind it, in front of the radiator. Personally I like the Driver side fog light location much better. Thats where I plan to mount mine. Here are some pics I found in the galleries, a 1g and a 2g.

It wouldn't fit in front of my pusher fans either so I put it in the fog light spot where it could get more air flow.

My car doesn't have the stock SMIC ducting, so I've never seen it, but would it work on the opposite side? Maybe mount the oil cooler opposite of the SMIC?
