Default Turbo people, location of Power steering cooler?

Ok, I am putting my FMIC back on the car and I have a question. Where do you put the Power Steering cooler? (atleast I think thats what it is).
Since you have to move it in order to mount the FMIC, where do you move it too?

Any pictures or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Mike

Well see the problem is, I work on an army base. And to enter the army base you have to go through a slolom of concrete baracades. I think with my tiny *** steering wheel and these tight *** turns, I would hate it after a while.

I removed the 10mm bolt holding it in tact, took a angle grinder and chopped off the bracket attached to the cooler. Then simply zip tie it in place right in front of the radiator.

Yes, it's the ghetto way of getting things done but sometimes being ghetto works... especially when it will not be seen by anyone.

I laid mine right on top of the IC, and noone can see it, and zip tied it to the bolt that holds the IC to the frame.

Here's a pic with my bumper and bumper support removed from when I originally installed my turbo...most of what is pictured has changed since then but the location of the p/s cooler is still the same.
