Hi guys,

I've purchased a B&M transcooler 70264 for my 2003 BA GT, wanting to know if its better to run it through the radiator or not?

* Are there any downsides to running it either way or not?

* Also were there any issues with the BA 2002 - 2004 with issues with radiator failure's and killing the auto?

Thanks in Advance.

Ive been running mine bypassed the radiator for exactly a year now. No Problems, apart from when I was towing our race car up a long incline with a 80kph speed limit (which is right on the torque converter lockup point. I stupidly didnt manually downshift to 3rd..and the auto went into limp mode at the top of the hill, recovered in 5 minutes.

Mine is mounted behind the lower drivers side foglight. And if im going to be giving it some prolonged workout (ie trackday) I simply remove the foglight, which rams tons of fresh cold air onto it, I also cut a dozen or so slots in the inner wheel arch, and louvered them to let air pass through, I then lined the inside of it with some mesh. worked out great and looks factory.
