I'm interested in this also. I've been seeing temps in the 200-215 range driving around the city the last few days. I just ordered a tru cool yesterday. I'm probably going to mount it behind the grill for now but curious what I should do when I go turbo. I have a decent size hole in my ss bumper for air flow as well

Man i feel sorry for you guys in these extreme heats. Between IAT's and tranny temps it sounds like an every going battle.

With the stock tranny cooler the hotest I ever saw up here was 180 and that had me nervous. I average 130-140 during city driving and lower on the hwy

I have my trucool mounted behind the grill and it rarely see it go over 160 even when driving hard. And its 100-105 here. Maybe try small efan to help keep it cool when your sitting still.

Right now I have the stock right in front of the intercooler. Bu I'm puttin a nice cooler w a fan between the passenger side headlight and the intercooler. Still sees driving wind and with the fan it should be fine.

Updated. Mines between the condenser and ic. No trimming needed. It fits as is
