Default External Oil cooler location?

I have a base 2006 A6 and would like to know where all the C6 guys are installing their external oil cooler besides in front of the radiator? I don't want to install in front of my radiator since I have an intercooler there for my supercharger. Looking for other locations to mount the oil cooler. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having Cartek install a ZO6 oil cooler on my C6. i believe they are mounting it between...or near the intercooler and radiator. They are working on it now and dave told me it was a Pain in the A.... to install.
