I thought Meiman (sp?) and the Finns were mounting them verticaly in the
right front of the engine compartment.
The only thing the bumper is protecting in the radiator - not you - it's
not "safety" -

It's not about how cool the air is.. it's about how cool you look, right?

Road trash, parking blocks, they all mean nothing.

Location sucks. Heat from the highway here would negate any gain from
cooling.. but then, perhaps it's a "snow to air" installation..  Ohhh..
wait.. snow bank.. left that hazard out.. ouch..
A fella just can't win..
Wax it, trailer queen it.. look cool.. parking lot runups and burnouts..
well maybe..

What's the point of working out a custom mount and all the plumbing if
you're just going to go air-to-air?  Water-to-air intercoolers make a much
bigger difference in intake air density.

I went over a couple speed bumps for a test. I will be backing into all future 
parking spots! this was the best fit you can get on a w124 without cutting away 
at the bumper support.
