    If you want a reply to this put in a little more effort in your question.

    Use, na or turbo etc

    If na use the stock one from and ae92 / 101 or none. If turbo then the list is endless.

    Its important to make sure you have good quality fittings and fire sleeve on the kit too... earls fittings are awesome, but will leave your wallet very light and you will want something with a thermostat.

    honestly I think on an naturally aspirated motor an oil-cooler is just as necessary, if not more so than on a turbocharged motor. significantly more time will be spent in the upper limits of the rev range

    save yourself some $$ don't worry about filter relocation if staying N/A. the factory filter position isn't hard to reach and it's not hard to do some sort of heat shield

    ideally I'd be doing this, not all that expensive:
    -quality European/US core (Serck/Earls)
    -Earls braided hose + AN fittings. I don't care what anyone says, Earls fittings are superior
    -GReddy thermostat sandwich plate via Streeter

    I did not know this, cheers Gunner!

    I think everyone has covered it, but you can still setup one on the cheap like I did which works perfectly fine. HOWEVER! One of those Grex sandwich plates with a thermostat is the way to go.

    What happens when your oil cooler setup leaks 3:50 for the impatient....
