FT Trans cooler mounting location w/intercooler fans ?
I purchased the FT trans cooler - very well made - and instructions say to mount above stock cooler, attached to radiator. (in front).
However, I have a set of intercooler fans on my heat exchanger. Does anyone see any problem mounting the FT trans cooler right behind the fans (you retain the stock cooler with FT unit) to take advantage of the fans? i don't believe it needs to be above the stock unit, as i believe it's pressurized, but i was thinking more from an airflow perspective. i realize there is no way it will match the airflow of mounting in radiator front, but was wondering if anyone had done anything like this ?
Also - IF you mounted on radiator, i realize you need to remove the shroud to get to FRONT of radiator (to put in push pins supplied), but how do you get to BACK of radiator for back of push pins ?
Thanks - sorry for longish question
