I went back to the logs and looked back at the intake temps as well as the trans temps ,,, and what do you know ! the match perfectly

so it seems my theory is true that the BOV is just blowing hot air on to the cooler .

so there are two possible solutions :
first is relocating the transmission cooler to some where else ,,, maybe in front of the radiator,,,, but that would be too much work for me plus the real-estate in front of the radiator is reserved for another project 

the second solution is to rotate the outlet of the BOV 90 degrees or so away from the cooler ,,,, which I did

and now I have to address the issue of the lowdness of this BOV ; the thing is freaking loud at idle and part throttle ,,,, but as soon as it shuts at 0 vac. and boost the car gets real quite .
so I was thinking of two options ,,,, the first expensive one and I'm not sure how that would work , is to replace the BOV with an procharger unit that has multiple openings instead oh a hose outlet like the one I have now.
the other option is placing a large filter on the outlet of the BOV to muffle the sound a bit .and I think I will be trying option 2 first .
