Default Transmisson cooler install

Was wondering if I can mount this new cooler upside down where the inlet and outlet were facing up? It would be in a better location if I can I cant find info on if you can or not

The factory trans cooler needs to be out the picture anyway. Personally I'd go for airlow and surface area over a something that will draw more power from the car.

You should always stick with one cooler when possible it's all about single pass efficiency
