DCT/Differential Cooling Systems?
On my previous car (STi) I had a Mishimoto radiator installed for cooling purposes along with a few thermal spacers, gaskets and a turbo blanket. I was shocked at the difference this made for over all cooling purposes. The only real issue I had with it was warming up in the mornings during cooler times of the year but otherwise it was great to keeping the car from getting warmer on track days. Being that I have realized the differences that it made with my previous car (minus the warm up hassle) I am curious if others on here have upgraded the cooling system to their DCT and or differential.
I really am interested in these items to help prolong the life of my car and allow for a much more stable range of temperature during track use. I found only one website so far and it's all in German. Does anyone know of other websites in English, manufacturers? Does anyone have these items installed? What are your opinions on these items? M3POST user, WWJD15 has a DCT cooling system and I hope that he will chime in as to where he got his since this is not posted in two threads that I read with him involved. I believe just from looks it's the same one I posted below. DCT cooling system, Click Here Differential cooling system, Click Here In the end I would like to spark a good debate on this topic and get your opinions and answers to what I have highlighted in red, thanks!

Long and short, no one here has ever complained about the diff/tranny heating up. I have ran the car hard back to back in instructor/student session without any issue (cannot say the same about stock brakes). You're good. save your$$ Lutfy |

I know someone who has a DCT Cooler installed, because he was getting high temperatures, but he only drives his E92 on the track. The car is quite extreme and he drives with slicks. I doubt that a most of us (just for fun drivers) will get any problems with the DCT temperature soon.
