I've got one that I'll be using on the Wife's car.  Have not mounted it yet.  I did see a picture of someone else that used one, mounted it on the passenger side and it looked pretty good.  I can't find the post now though.

Like this?

My plan on mounting it is finding the easiest place to put it that will require the minimum amount of fooling around with intercooler piping.  :)

I searched for that pic as well, couldn't find it either.  I'll try again later.  I don't remember the fella's screenname.

That's a stock c900 intercooler.

My saab has one.  It kind of sucks.  Gets heatsoaked pretty fast.  I personally would probably not use it.

AN intercooler is still better then no intercooler. If space allows ill probably mount a fan onto it to cool it also....

I guess if I was going through the effort of fitting an IC, I'd get an ebay one for ~$75 shipped.  Or a dodge neon SRT4 one, which seems to be pretty decent.

I bought mine for $25 shipped, that's why I'm using it.  :)
