Anyone one here uprated theres or is the original one fine for a modded coop? I've noticed them for sale fro GT3 TURBO in the traders section... Are these an upgrade and will the kit fit 16vt as it states the kit is for 20v in the title?? Could i just get the cooler and then get somewhere locally to knock up the stainless rises and fittings??

The cooler will be more than likely 1/2" BSP fittings, so just need to know what the coupe output is Originally Posted by Jonny - After being taken out at Spa Your car is Usain Bolt with wellies

Also is that oil cooler in question better than OE? Nick..... 368bhp @ 1.5 bar

Better than OE, well it's just an oil radiator, nothing special about it, this one is wider, thus cooling better Originally Posted by Jonny - After being taken out at Spa Your car is Usain Bolt with wellies
