In front of the radiator is the compact and easy way to go.But you have to cut some stock sheetmetal to get in there.
I put mine all the way up front which added some length to the intake tract,but it did free up more space for my custom radiator and oil cooler tinwork.Mounting the IC all the way up front is easy if your running an aftermarket airdam.Just use a saw and cut 2 notches in the airdam,then insert the IC like a cassette.
Mine fits right between the bumper/frame horns,required no additional braces or mounts,and is completely un-theivable without taking the whole front of the car apart.......
