5AT Owner's, what's your psi/temp readings?

Hey folks, just got new gauges and wanted to make sure my readings were correct. I was getting about 18-20 psi for the tranny return line and about 2-5 psi idling or highway cruising, which seems really low to me.

Then on the temp gauge with my 11x11x1.5 B&M cooler, my temps have been so low the gauge won't move from the starting point of 120 degrees. When the car is idling for like 10 min it will get up to abou 150-160 but that takes a long time before it gets to it. Just need to know what your average temps are when driving, with or without a cooler, and your psi levels. Thanks.

aren't you the one that installed 2 transmission coolers?

if so, could that be the culprit?

if not, whoops

Yeah I did install two, but sold them and went with one big one instead. I know that with the increase capacity, comes the loss in pressure, but want to compare it to stock if anyone knows, temps and pressure.
