l mounted mine by making up 2 strapmounts for the front that screw down to the motor/gearbox, and the rear i have fitted to the spare wheel well.
l have used 25x5mm flat to make these guys and have used rubber mounts on the intercooler to eliminate any vibration.

yeah i was just going to make up some brackets from the gearbox/bellhousing.. not sure where to actully sit the cooler becuase the turbo heatsheild is in the way.. so might have to modify that a little..

do you have any pictures?

cheers

I have the heat sheild on and the front of the IC sits on it, then the back is also mounted on the spare wheel plate. I may be able to email you a pic is needed.

I should note that mine is air-air though not water-air.

yeah mine is water to air

hi im juz a noob on this site i was thin to get aftermaket top mount intercooler where site do i go to check ?

tell us where you are from, possibly a member close to you has an old one- i know i do- in wa.
else get a hold of a small core and get some pipes made up

Check out RSlibertyclub.org

There are guys there converting from the factory WAIC to front mounts all the time, i bought mine for $150 including pump and pipes
