Well the Oil Cooler Connector is back ordered to eternity.
I just talked to Shawn over at Subarupartswarehouse.com and ordered the STI bolt from a 2008 model. He said if it doesn't work I can send it back for a full refund which is badass. I'll update if it does in fact work, there were more in stock too. Last edited by post_break; 11-27-2013 at 11:02 AM. |

If the 08 STi oil cooler connector works let me know and I will add it to the list on the first page as an alternate piece.

Once a 2015 wrx makes it to our dealer, I am going to look it over and see if their water pipe will be a better fit than the FXT one.

the cooler is probably the same part number as the FXT since its basically the same engine. I just wanna see that water line since some people have expressed concerns about the current FXT solution

The OEM oil cooler looks great for track use. A manual by-pass valve for closing off the oil cooler when driving on the street might be beneficial to prevent oil temperatures from being too cold.

no need for it, the cooler cooler acts as a oil warmer for faster warm ups, while cruising to the track, my oil temps tend to be 6-8 degrees above my water temp.
just to add as well, it was 40 degrees outside when i went to the track that morning. |
