does the radiator go in the standard mounts with a let or does it need to go forward.

p.s engine will be standard turbo

Need to move the rad forward about 1.5" or so, also needs moved more central to allow the boost pipes to fit either side of it. Your also gonna have to chop a recess in the front panel for the intercooler to sit in.
You can get it to fit behind the bump but you've gotta chop the centre part of the bumper out (and fit some mesh).
Its the same set up as mine, and mines behind the bumper - not on show.

Frontera cooler will mean the pipes have to run down the left/right of the rad, so needs to be moved into the middle anyway. Its going to need fitting to know for sure where everything is gonna go. Depending what fan you plan on using (front or back mounted?) will make a difference too

edit- beat me to it! ^
