greddy 3row intercooler and fluidine radiator swap. HELP!!!!!!

I got the greddy 3 row and the fluidyne radiator, im trying to figure out how to set up the radiator to get it all to fit. what i was thinking of was bringing the radiator back, at an angle towards the engine and making a shroud on top and around it to keep the air in place. what have some of you guys done to get this to work? i also am going to put a t-78 later so some pictures of the turbo with the radiator and intercooler would be neat too, so i can see what it will look like when its all in.
thanks
wes

I used the brackets the kit came with. (T78)

I will post a close up photo tonight, but we had to bend them to make it work.

Thanks, and its going to look much better in two weeks.

I picked up some thermo tech insulated material and I am in the process of completing blocking the sides, the bottom and top of the gap between the FMIC and Rad. Air will always go throught the easiest path of resistance. Once its all contained a Rad shroud on the top and its a nice clean effective install.

This will help with the temps and helps the fans pull air througn the FMIC and into the Rad.
