Definately worth the money and worth doin if you plan to mod the T or do frequent towing,heavy work.shouldnt cost anymore than $250 for a FULL KIT including cooler,hose and clamps.can even fit yourself if you can twirl a spanner.

The shifter's don't seem to mark the fittings near as much as a spanner does.....Just a tip. Maybe put some masking tape around the fittings to protect them some more.....

Just waiting to get the braided lines made up, and connect it all up!Heres a before shot<div class='bbimg'></div>Had to make a new side mounting bracket to move the horn<div class='bbimg'></div>Fabricating the alloy brackets<div class='bbimg'></div>Lower bracket fitting<div class='bbimg'></div>All hoses and fittings are to be made up with braided lines(not shown) and screw fittings like these. Not a single hose clamp used, and I dont have to modify the current stock plumbing, except attach new fittings to them.<div class='bbimg'></div>All the brackets on the PWR cooler<div class='bbimg'></div>Fitting it in using an airline as a mock up to measure double check the lengths of the hoses<div class='bbimg'></div>And finally an after shot! (without the braided lines yet!)<div class='bbimg'>I have it angle mounted so if I choose to upgrade the intercooler down the track It will fit in, provided I dont go overboard with the size! And I can remove it and put it back to stock as none of the stock plumbing has been hacked into, shortened of removed. Just redirected!Now the transmission fluid is water cooled through the radiator, then air cooled by the new PWR cooler before heading back in for another thrashing!Hope you guys like!!
