Technically it's the transmission heat exchanger. It sits under the turbo right? It should have two trans cooler lines running to it.

Nope....it uses the coolant to warm or cool the trans fluid to operating temp. Some bypass it because of twins or when they do a rebuild but it must be replaced with a cooler of good size because they thing removes a TON of heat from the fluid.
