I installed a Tilton pump in the engine bay and the cooler is attached to the deck lid. I often wonder if this is optimal because there is no fluid in the lines or the cooler when the pump is not on. Once the pump turns on the oil level in the 915 is now effectively lower. I would love to hear any thoughts on this. I looked underneath on either side of the tranny for a possible location but it's really tight and I wimped out. The Wevo solution looks perfect to me as they solve the space issues, created a "scoop" to pick up some air flow and the fluid level in the tranny will stay the same whether the pump is running or not. The PMS solution I believe assumes you are cutting a hole in the back seat and pulling the air from inside the car. Ideally I think it would also be nice if you didn't have to disconnect the cooler, etc. when R&Ring the engine/trans. Here are some links to help confuse the issue
