Car ran good overall, did not notice any oil over heating problem. Oem header cracked about 30 track days in. Throw out bearing was gone at the same time. Toasted about 5 coil packs. Notice oil seeping around the cam sensor area near the end of the season and had to clean the MAF more frequently (once every few events). So vented both crankcase breathers, will report back next year if that helped.
Also, the engine oil cooler line rubbed the oem airbox metal bracket and torn mid season, luckily it happen while driving on the street, had it replaced. Removed the bracket to resolve problem (I don't recall if the install instruction said anything about removing it).
CSG Mike is a valuable resource, consider giving them the business if you are planning to buy one. So you wont feel guilty every time you ask him for help.

It's supposed to be removed, but many folks forget it because they're excited about taking the oem airbox out!
Consider the IP coilpacks if you get tired of swapping regularly. It's a PITA when you have to swap with a hot engine between sessions.
