I got this huge heat exchanger installed today. It was more work than I anticipated, but glad to have it in the car. I took the car out for about an hour with Torque running on my phone and the average IATs were 75-80F and never exceeded 115F on several long 140mph pulls. The recovery time was also very quick, I don't perceive any cooling issues with my car, especially with the Bosch '10 pump added to this HE.
I had to Dremel off two of the mounting brackets behind the bumper as there was interference with the bigger exchanger. I secured the lower cooler to the EC HE by carefully drilling two holes at the very rear edge and using self-tapping sheet screws with locktite and reused the factory mounting brackets. I was very careful not to drill the core here. I don't recommend installing this yourself unless you're very mechanically inclined. All in all, a great cooling system mod which I highly recommend.
