Custom DCT Cooler Q?
Hi y'all!
I'm debating moving from the Do88 to a custom Setrab cooler core using the Seems Legit Garage AN8 adapter they sell. I have a leak in my DCT cooler lines up by the heat exchanger and the prices are absurd for new lines. From an aero perspective, it'd be great to close off the passenger bumper duct and there's plenty of real estate to move the DCT cooler in front of AC condenser or somewhere behind the oil cooler above the rear splitter with a puller fan/NACA duct running parallel with the ground. I'm already dropping the DCT to replace the mechatronics sleeve o-ring seal and side pan gasket.

Will do! SLG adapter is arriving tomorrow. Gonna mock it up and see if I can find a good place to mount the cooler core this weekend.

If it really works, I guess it would be better than the do88 option both price-wise and also by moving some weight off the front end. |

Seems legit garage makes a cheap adapter to move to AN8 lines and remove the heat exchanger.

Do you have data that you're losing speed with how the car is now? How do you know blocking off that hole will improve things?
