Isn't that a no via pix? Looks like he tapped the OEM oil filter housing.

/\ I think thats the euro oil filter housing.

I was just trying to show that you can use the OEM oil cooler with longer/new lines.

I have and am planning to use the cap. Need to install it!!

couldn't you just flip the cooler so the lines are short IMHO i think it would look cleaner

^^ i've always though that.

while the euro oil cooler is an oem clean solution, its VERY expensive. i believe s54's have the same housing i may be wrong.

the ireland engineering (i think another Co sells them too) oil cap solution is just as good and for $150 + coil cooler + lines + hardware. You can get away with doing it under $200-230

Didn't VPD use to produce a cap similar to the IE one? What else is needed to make this work?
