This was my concern as well. Stacking a bunch of heat in one spot.

I am using the stock 370z bumper so air flow to the wheel wells is limited and there is also a supercharger oil cooler to contend with which mounts to that drivers side wheel well also.

Ultimately I think I will have the most confidence in having the oil and SC coolers mounted in the wheel well with fans helping to cool them out of a vented fender liner.

However I feel comfortable putting it together with the oil cooler behind the IC for now. The custom brackets will have to wait til after ZdayZ.
