It mounts between the bumper and a/c condensor. When I did my ge to gte swap, I just crawled under the car with the intercooler and started arranging it till it fit. All the bolt holes are already there. It didn't take me long to figure out where it went.

I've gone out again.. and can't see anywhere it goes.. between the a/c condensor there are some holes that look like that can go, but the overfill reservoir is in the way, and I can't see any mounts on the other side of the intercooler then.. I can't see anything about the intercooler in the haynes manual either. So would be great with a pic, either from above in engine room or from front with bumper of..

Haynes is pretty much useless. If I remember, I will snap a pic today, the bumper is off.

Just to give you an idea...

I did the swap recently too, the bottom inter cooler mounting tabs line up with holes in the rail on the bottom there. All other mounting holes require a bracket that i didnt have. Just using the bottom mounts, the inter cooler is pretty sturdy. The oil cooler needs brackets i didn't have as well, so it is loosely held in place until i can find some mounting brackets.

Thanks Not strange I couldn't find how it mounts.. Don't have those brackets either
