Default How to mount TT intercooler?

I decided to get ahead on my turbo project by installing the intercooler today. I removed the dirt panel and went to put the intercooler in, and there was no apparent spots to hook it up to. Am I supposed to have a custom mounting bracket? or am I missing something? here is a pic of the intercooler, the pink circles are the mounts

Just hold your horses boredguy. Give members a chance to respond.

I haven't done this install 'cause I'm going FMIC, but here's a pic of the SMIC installed in an sc:

Just be patient. Others will help.

boredguy....I havent done this myself but I am sure that you will have to remove the front bumper to fully access the location to mount the IC. I have a couple of pic's that show it mounted. They were posted a very long time ago(hope you dont mind Scott)

okay, sorry I guess I am impatient. By the looks of the two seperate pics, I will need a custom adapter to mount it. I had somehow come to the conclusion that since the soarer was TT with a sidemount, and we have the same body, that it would just bolt up without any adapters or mods. Guess I was wrong I am going to try and call toyomoto and see if the will sell seperate, I will get back and tell you guys how it goes.
