Did this as well using guides here. For the return everything is pretty much factory parts but I deviated for the inlet and have a tee in the radiator hose with the hose traveling across the top of the engine bay attached to a Grimmspeed strut tower bar making the installation a lot easier. Sort of a mix between the Cusco version and factory.

I've got $279 in it, my peak oil temps were brought down from 260-265 to 225-230.

For a street vehicle its great, faster warmup, decently cheap, good fitment using factory parts and just enough cooling to take the edge off.
