Does anyone have pictures of their setup for oil pre and temp gauges with a

oil cooler kit?

I'm just running a sandwitch plate, but I also want to run a cooler kit too.

Yep me too Kev, after having my car go into limp mode on a track day for oil overtemp, I believe these are necessary if you want to drive your car hard for more than 2 laps. Mine is stock and it went to limp mode, I shudder at the thought of the temps obtained with double or tripple the PSI as my stock tune generates.

I have been told that the temp figure in which the ECU triggers limp mode is very conservative, and could possibly be raised a few degrees, especially if you use good quality synthetic oils.

Will this be a complete kit kev? hoses, clamps, sandwich plates and cooler.

if so great, saves me the hassle of researching correct types, getting hoses, deciding on location etc.

keep us posted.

What size are you going to make the fittings for the gauges? I run autometer gauges.

What sort of money are we looking at for your setup? I had a look at the wrx kit and if

it's anything like that I'll be up for one.
