In the process of turbo'ing my n/a with the stock 9b's. Would this kit have everything i need? Will these lines fit up? They look a lot different from the stock cooler but i want to upgrade it because the existing hoses are cracking. I can't really afford a really nice cooler but i feel like it would be a safe idea to fix those cracking hoses. Thanks!

Here's what you need:

Abut 5 or 6' of SS -8 AN hose

I would stay away from cheap aftermarket cores, especially if you have a good stock one.
I would just make your own lines or pick up ones already made: Maximal Performance Oil Cooler Lines - Maximal Performance
Did that. Takes up a lots of room but I've never seem temps above 180F so far.Quote:

Theres nothing wrong with the ebay ones and they do outflow the stock one, I noticed and increase in oil pressure just from switching which would suggest it flows quite a bit more freely than the stocker, that being said it could just be the lines using actual --8an fittings rather than restrictive banjo fittings.
Just because it came from ebay doesn't automatically mean its junk, its a pretty simple device, a heat exchanger core, as long as the welds are good. Setrabs are good but they are overpriced IMO.
