I love looking at the pics you post and watching the progress of your build, thanks for posting them!
from what i understand, the DCT heat exchanger is there to quickly heat up the transmission fluid from cold. I have been reading that cold transmission fluid increases wear, so the heat exchanger quickly warms up the fluid to operating temp to reduce wear. I am guessing that is important on a daily driver, but not so much on a track car as the harsher driving will probably heat up the fluid quickly.
never seen DCT info from rheingold, would be glad to look at it if it's available and learn about how you did the dct cooler install.

dct heat exchanger - usual water to oil cooler
it's more efficient then air cooler with comparable size. but, it can cool oil only to water temperature (and, it has too small size, to make really good cooling)
how it can warm oil, if dct oil thermostat are closed, before oil heating up? )
so, dct oil heats up itself, without any influence of exchanger.
i already made some screen shots about dct from rheingold, but it's on my notebook in garage.
and some progress pics
today we had started welding
how it looks from inside
and battery compartment's frame removed
