Did you post pics on your thread?? I didn't see

No I'm going to. Waiting to finish up the job. Which is hopefully tonight.

So at $950 for the Greddy kit, I still think the Blitz kit is a better value due to the bigger core, braided stainless hoses, and $100 lower price with ducting included.

Actually, they are braided stainless steel lines. They come in both exposed braid and covered variants, depending on the application. See the top of the page where you got that screenshot!

Since we're nitpicking details, the Blitz cooler is indeed taller with 2 more rows, but is 230mm wide (please correct me if this is wrong), vs the GReddy that is 299mm wide.

The Blitz oil cooler sandwich plate uses banjo style fittings that can rotate off, where'as the GReddy is fixed at an angle.

The GReddy also includes foam tape to preent air from escaping around the core between the core and shroud. I recommend you do this with your Blitz!

Ultimately, at the end of the day, both coolers will have much more cooling than a Perrin or Jackson Racing cooler.

It says in the product notes "nylon mesh hose"



Checked the photos... looks like braided nylon to me. Also seen one of the Greddy kits in person and it had braided nylon hoses.

Just installed this Kit for MY13-16.



Works great; some initial issues with leakage, but tightening all the sensor ports and being careful not to nick the banjo bolt dawson washers did the trick.


It cools great, a little too well for the street. I'll probably make a block-off/restrictor plate for street use. I've never seen the car go over 205F on the street, no matter how hard I tried on an open road.
