OK, I see.
I got very similar one:
https://www.flowmastermufflers.com/...ler-large-supercooler-14400-btu-rating-black/
I have not put it yet as I was planning on doing FMIC and with the empty space from OEM IC, I would install it there.
But once I learnt that FMIC (from 6th) actually goes through this very spot and I would have to remove airbox - I am back to putting the cooler as you have it. I wish I could add fan on it, which I bought, too... My plan was to add thermoswitch that would activate the fan if ATF was above 80 C.
From my monitors I can see ATF going over 100 C in some hot days (like above 25 C ambient) if I push the car a few times. And by push I mean a few 80% WOT accelerations to about 80 km/h (55 mph).
The return is then at 90, 95. It takes a while to cool it down below 80 C.
I do not like it...
One more thing.
Did you retain the OEM setup as well, meaning the radiator coolant cooler? I presume you routed it from the radiator to the aftermarket cooler back to transmission, right?
