I got really lucky on this because when I flipped my radiator for the kit it bolts perfect onto a bracket on the rad... lol

The issues where the mounting points on the the whole kit. The clearance issues with the lower radiator pipe. The upper radiator pipe with the intake side of the turbo. And the stock oil cooler is apparently NOT an option with this kit...

i thought they show the oil cooler in between the cores on their site, does it not work with custom lines

Im sorry. I guess I was trying to sum it all up, since I didn't see any of the guys that used this kit run an oem oil cooler.

I'm wondering if the fitment of the oem oil cooler is decent?

its tough, if you place it right it will not obstruct the airflow too much. in their pictures they have it set right in the middle which kinda sucks.

I took so long to finish my kit due to many reasons my fault and not my fault.

long story short I got it all to work with the factory oil cooler, a/c and ps.

but I really like this thread, it shows what is the reality of going with different kits.

I have also moved the bottom radiator outlet to the side and made my bottom pipe with 1.5 inch copper and a T peice so I still run the small hose to the radiator, also had to use a smaller battery and still need to make some simple ducting its not finished yet.

was really considering getting this kit at the price point, but this nightmare fitment issue has scared me away indefinitely:/
