As a response to Toma. Perrin had released an Oil Cooling kit where there was an issue with the cooler leaking from their first batch. Even through trying to workout the kinks they've post-poned sales and/or delivery of their kit to ensure QC of the Mocal cooler they were using with their kit. Eventually they reached out to whomever purchased their first batch and offered a fix/revision free of charge. Now I might not be very bright, but I am sure a cooler core is more expensive than a pipe cutter and two fittings you can get from Home Depot for $10. Just my two cents.

This car fire has me taking a step back as well regarding the grand plan on my wife's BRZ. I've done full exhaust system (Namelss - sounds great), wheels and tires on their way and a number of other options were being considered. Now, I'll just install the wheels and tires and may leave it at that with the exhaust.
Initially the Visconti FF kit looked intruguing to run E85 and get performance benefits versus FI. But now, I'm VERY hesitant to do any fuel mods with the OP's troubles and complete loss of car. Turbo may still be in the works for me, but with a new sense of caution. |

Sorry @brzturbo for your loss man. All the best and hope things work out for you. I'd liked to have been a fly on wall when that conversation went down between you and John Visconti.
I have nothing nice to say in regards to Visconti or his pet Rich, whether he's real or one of John's alternate personalities, who the hell knows ?? Just surprised he's not in here doing damage control as usual

Who knows, maybe they can throw in free fire extinguishers for current @Visconti owners. |
