Intercooler question

I recently picked up an 85 T-bird Turbo coupe and for some reason, in the trunk, there's an intercooler just sitting there. I'm not sure where it's supposed to be hooked up or not. It looks like it mounts somewhere in the engine bay, but I don't see a spot to mount it. Also, I've looked at several '85 TC motors and didn't notice an intercooler. So, where does this thing mount? I'd appreciate any help and/or pictures of a setup. I want to keep this turbo running as cool as possible. :crazy
Thanks, Andrew

g_lower is an unknown quantity at this point
the 83-86 turbo coupes were not equipped with intercoolers those came on the 87-88 models with the scooped hood

Is ther any piping with it. It might be off an 87-88, or some other car or it might be one of the Motorsports front mounts that were made to the 83-86 TC and sold aftermarket through Ford Motorsports. Lots of possibilities
