the big shiny one is intercooler, which is something else.

I wouldn't put a 70 dollar oil cooler in my car even if you give it to me for a buck fifthy. it only take one poorly make fitting to have your motor seized, don't cheap out on universal kit, and most cheap kit do not put in consideration of PSI, amount of oil and fin effectiviness.

take a look at the fitting on a cheap kit vs. earl's fitting, the quality difference is there, black and white

if you have a realivity stock car, there's no point to have one. According cooling system is more than enought if you are not making alot of power.
I was running boost and my stock cooling system was working just as fine.


did i scare you off yet?

well, there's one good news, that is if you have extra hundred bucks to spend, use them to buy a TRANSMISSION oil cooler, which your auto tranny will thank me later on.
