I don't think it would be too hard to make & fit custom lines and cooler ..

Would I be right in saying the Plus has uprated oil coolers, behind intercoolers I think?!.. can these be retro fitted?..

Sportec do a Upgraded oil cooler kit, but you have to buy it with their IC's at £5k plus fitting. I tried to buy them separately and was told NO.....

Sportec kit is just 2 Long Tru Cool 8X11 trans/engine cooler ($80 each on fleabay), SS braided hoses and power steering cooling line is removed and old trans cooler (OEM top cooler) is used for PS. So Sportec is a overpriced rip off. Wagner IC's are $1800.

Cheers Snoopra, do you have any flabby links for the parts we would need? Where are they mounted compared to OEM? Pics?

Thanks

The oil cooler lines broke on my S6 and I got an external one fitted in front of the radiator..
