The port it connects through is blocked off by a blanking plate on MT cars and the ATs use a thermostat and housing. Has anyone tried running the return line for the oil cooler through that port? It would be a simple matter (I think) to buy the $12 housing and connect the return line there (without the thermostat).
TIA

Yes. This is an alternative option and it was suggested by a well known rally racing tuner in Japan. I don't recall now the name.
