Ok ....yes I have searched first, which has helped a little, but not so much with the PRE-PURCHASE SELECTION of preferred brands / models / sizes etc. As such I'm really keen to hear from R32 owners with fitted oil coolers.

I'd appreciate advice with;

* recommended brands / models

* row size (No doubt bigger the better but how many rows or width is too big limiting install locations?)

* thermostat versions (hype or value)

best fitting location of both

* the cooler

* remoted filter

* filter point up or down? (would image down, but seen others here point up)

I guess my preference for the cooler location would be in the front bar at the driver's side vents (space permitting??) Any brands standard allow for this?

Do any or all brands have a tank plug on the cooler for draining?

I apologise in advance if these are stupid questions...or if asked a 1,000 times b4. I'll accept links for answers as well.

I'm just lost for choice atm and looking for unbiased recommendations. Thanks guys.

with a sutable amount of cutting around the drivers side vent i was able to fit my oil cooler in, i will take some photos. Tight fit but seems to work well, witht he earls thermostat oil stays dead on 80 deg celsious according to the factory gauge.

      I would hope so. I worry that it also might depend on whether the person working on the claim has had a good day or not. I could imagine that for example modified brakes would be an easy thing to point to for affecting the outcome of an accident. I don't know. I will keep paying my premium and hope for the best. But at the same time keep safe distances, drive defensively and avoid dickhead P-platers in lifted utes

      I was just working on the assumption that a cammed V8 is significantly less polluty than a Japanese I6 turbo was at the way they tested it in an IM240. Perhaps I'm wrong! Perhaps cutting one of the readings I got in half is a tall order. I don't know too many people who actually got their cars emission tested with a RB to really compare the data.

      I thought it was just if “the modification effected/caused the incident”

      Ok, good to know. I have open loop I think, I forgot which ones which but I am running the o2 sensor, brand new and I got a new boost solenoid because my last one was faulty and overboosting by a lot, but it's still technically overboosting. Haven't really bothered to hunt it down as I don't send it hard regularly.

      You should not be able to see much smoke behind you if the mixtures are good - for ~13-14 psi anyway. It's not like you need to be running hell rich for only that much boost/load. Your tune might be a tad too rich. The tuner might have done that because they like to run a lot of timing. It's impossible to know what's going on from here. It won't be the actuator. It won't be the MAP sensor. Regardless of if by "MAP sensor" you mean either the Neo ECU's boost sensor (which is literally only that, a boost sensor so that the ECU knows a) that it's achieving boost, and b) that it is not overboosting) or you mean the dash gauge's MAP sensor (because it can't have any effect at all), or you mean the boost controller's MAP sensor (because it is very unlikely that it is running in closed loop, and so it is effectively just used to know when the pressure goes positive and so you can see the boost on the display, for the most part).
