I'm not sure. I'd bet there is someone here who knows.

Thought I would conribute to this thread.
Just did this but didnt make it fancy like some of you did with a gauge and all. I probably should have but I think it will be fine. Just a note for noobs doing this install.. If you are doing the koyo/mishimoto radiator and adding a trans cooler you dont really have to be concerned with the return line or feed line unless you are installing a temp gauge or adding to a stock radiatior. Just connect one line to one end of the cooler and another line to the other end of the cooler.
Here is how mounted mine. I like the clean look of it.
Here is everything done and put back together.

Just wanted to reiterate myself here.
The best way I found to confirm the return and supply line was to remove both soft lines from the hard lines on the lower drivers side, run the engine briefly and observed which hard line puked fluid. In my case, it was the most forward hard line.
In the photo above, the return line for my 2010 was indeed the longer soft line but was connected to the rear positioned hard line on the lower driver's side and not the front as shown. I believe SuperRu's Foz was an '04 btw so that's prolly the difference otherwise it looks very similar to a '10 model.I![]()
I just wanted to add to this thread a bit and say how useful it was for installing a cooler on my 2011 2.5X.
This single post in another thread was also very helpful to me. Also, @SubieOutlaw 's bumper removal thread is helpful. The pictogram instructions included with my Sports grille were also somewhat useful.
I've attached some photos too; blue coloring denotes the original return line / the nozzle where the original return line was plugged in, and green denotes where I used the hose included in the B&M 70255 kit. As a side note, I trimmed and sanded the B&M brackets with a cut-off wheel to make them more to my liking.
I just unplugged the original return line from the nozzle, pulled it out from its guiding clips and attached it to the bottom of the cooler (line was trimmed). Then, I routed the new hose from the nozzle to the top of the cooler. Getting the new hose on the nozzle was very challenging - make sure to lube up the nozzle and new hose with ATF-HP (I used some of what spilled out into my pan).
I would love to reassemble my car; however, I was a moron and bought Subaru Coolant instead of ATF-HP (and everything is closed for the 4th, and all the dealers nearby are closed Sundays). The tranny dipstick said the fluid level was ok, but I did get quite a bit of fluid on my arms and on the ground. So, I'm leaving the front clip in pieces until I get some ATF-HP and run the car for a bit to make sure all my lines and clamps are holding.
Also, I would definitely recommend safety glasses / goggles (better) for this job, and it would've made my life a lot easier had I cleaned my car beforehand.

Great thread! I will be installing one in my 07 xt soon 
Okay guys, I am in the process of installing the B&M supercooler (PN# 70255) on my SH XT. wanted to reiterate from someone who has done this on their SH, that the only hose I have to remove is the existing (Longer hose)one, then insert it into the lower port of the Cooler.
Then grab the B&M supplied rubber hose and insert one end onto the upper Port of the B&M cooler and grab the other end of that hose and stick it(For a lack of a better word) into the metal hose the which housed the hose originally removed..
