I figured! I saw that you're running the 3" Perrin, so I was trying to figure out why it sounded so different than my 2.5. Is the JDL kit you got a UEL version?

You could probably re-use your oil cooler, but you'll most likely have to lengthen your lines and move it over to the passenger side. (Not too familiar where it's normally located). I have an oil cooler and it sits right next to the intercooler on a slant to fit. So I'm sure if you cut some hose to a custom length you should be able to reuse your core.
Verus makes awesome stuff. I want that + every aero bit they offer!

The JR unit sits smack in the middle of the radiator. Given how long it is, I doubt it would work. I know Blitz makes a nice one that I've seen work with this kit.

In any case, I'm super jealous of your setup. However, it sounds like you're a more experienced mechanic than me, so its probably a bit more intimidating for me in that respect. I'd be so worried of blowing it up on track and not being able to drive the thing home.
