Pretty sure there is kits available but all you really need is an Oil cooler sandwich plate, oil cooler, lines and fittings. i have seen a few done with a return line directly to the sump as well.

i had an sandwich plate and sump with a return barb but i gave it away with my car/

this is my core, and sandwich plate,
my concern is, from the sandwich outlet, it passes through the core, but then after the oil goes through the core , were does it go then? it needs a return doesent it?
im a little confused ay

yep. u have to weld a return bung/barb onto the 20v sump.
some 16v ones (which is what your above pictures setup is originally from) had that setup on originally but the sumps are slightly different between 20v and 16v. so u wil have to mod your own.

i have been told that the standard oil cooler setup from a 16v is actually a oil by pass that only allows 10% flow, can anyone confirm ?

In the states, Moto-P wrote in a write up that the 16V oil cooler sandwich plate can't be used with 20V b/c it bleeds off too much oil pressure ( I don't understand this) and keeps VVT from activating, which needs high oil pressure.

I have a Greddy cooler on my 20V, it has sandwich plate with inbuilt thermostat and return.

There is one currently available for good price on Twincam ($400) They can be upto $700 new.
