Default catch can mounting locations??

I am trying to figure out where to mount this catch can I just got...its a might mouse setup, with my supercharger setup I don't think I can mount it on the head where the S/C mounts up at....I was thinking of mounting it up front by my intercooler, on the driver's side on the frame rail, however the can will be at slight angle which I don't think that will matter...any insight on this???

thanks...
Ryan

I put mine on the driver side of the radiator cradle next to the brake duct tube... I have a jegs breather can though, not sure how it compares in size to the one you have

I've got a JEGs (3"X17") mounted on the passenger side of the radiator.

haha that is what I was thinking...I played around for like an hour trying out different areas and I kept going back to where you mounted yours ideal...this catch can is every part of 10'' long so pretty good size.

that's really the only good place I could find to mount it... I cut a small hole in the bottom of the access panel and I can reach behind there and open the drain with the car still on the ground
