I would put it somewhere where there is nothing beneath it, unless you like dripping oil in your engine bay when you change the oil.

Keep it low if at all possible or you may some dry start issues with it bleeding down overnight

I got my kit now im just looking for a good place to mount it,
1.where i thought i could, where the battery is, it would kink the lines,
2.where the intake is, under it, if the lines will reach

those are the only two places that i know of that i can mount it, the guy next door is a metal fabricator, if i need to i can get him to make a bracket to mount it

I'd say mount it in front of the tire, basically in the void behind the bumper.
