              Well, I've got my eye on the Ireland oil filter lid adapter. Has two ports for oil cooler lines and two ports for sensors or gauges.

                  You don't have to. i have the VAC billet aluminum oil filter housing that allows you to run stainless -10 oil lines. I just haven't installed it yet.

                          I'm guessing that's a pretty pricey piece, eh?

                              yeah, it's pretty pricey ($425 on their site), but it is a really nice piece. The boss bought it for me though, so I'm happy.

                                          Definitely possible. Maybe just add some soft line and mount the cooler so the lines go to the driver side...? I'm thinking of buying a new aftermarket cooler off Summit or something to go behind the kidneys.

                                              that would be cool. i just remembered how the lines look on the m20 oil cooler...

                                                  UUC's is currently 100$

                                                  As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                                                  You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                                                      Just went and checked their out. It's only for gauge/sender ports, not cooler ports.

                                                          Similar to the one I had on my old turbo car, but bigger, haha.
