That's a pretty cool design, and a nice way to spoof the rules to get around the OEM IM/IC issues with the precooler in the charge pipe. Them putting the oil cooler in the back like that seems telling about either the room up front, or that the front cooling stack was already somewhat borderline. Granted, it could also have been done for weight, but I'd wager the other two first given the complexity of rear mount coolers.
That would lend credence to the thought that a larger HX for the IC would still get overwhelmed, or at least the stock IC needed more help than a passive cooler would do. I'd still be curious what the inlet/outlet temps are for those given it's a capacitance setup. I agree a larger IM/IC combo is the way to go for most though.
I just got my 2026 about 3 weeks ago, so I haven't taken anything off in the front to look at, but given Subaru was so bad at front cooling stack anyway I imagine the Supra will look fine lol.
