I heard that it does but i wanted to know where it is mounted and how hard it would be to put in a bigger one from IPT. Also how much transmission fluid is needed to refill the transmission after you drain it?

There should be a trans cooler located either in front of the radiator or in front of the drivers side air duct....if not, then it is internally cooled of the radiator...
Normally you can do two things...get a larger trans cooler and mount it front and center of the radiator or mount it in place of the SMIC if you have a FMIC...
As far as the amount of fluid, I forget, but It's here on the site and I'll post it.

Dry fill on an auto 2.0 turbo is 7.1 quarts (haynes manual)

But more like 4.5 just draining from the usual 2 plugs.
