no jus the sandwhich plate i believe... lol yah its freaking hot up in here HAHA.... its like 80-90degrees...

Well there ya go, probably explains it. I wont be surprised if mine gets nice and toasty come spring/summer.

Thanks Simota & Bobo,

I think I will probably go with this kit after the holidays, my car runs really good up until it crosses over the 220 mark, then I get this hesitation when starting in first gear in lower RPM's. It's almost like limp mode, but I know it's not, because I'm not past 230. It's like I just loose the throttle response during the first bit of pedal travel, very laggy, and it start just a tick over the 220 mark. Any of you guys experience this??

I went over 220 enough times, I never had those symptoms before...

when i did cross my 220 marker i never experienced this either mini?!?

I've never experienced this either.

Im always above 220 and i have never noticed that at all.

I just got the std stillen oil kit- I noticed when I tracked power steering fluid got extremely hot- so not real keen about moving factory power steer cooler BEHIND stillen oil cooler- was thinking getting longer rubber hose and moving factory steering cooler all the way over to the other side- See any problems with this approach?? I don't thing added rubber line lenght would cause a problem

No, that shouldn't cause any issues.

Might want to get a bigger PS cooler while you're at it.

I am doing Stillen OC install today. I moved the factory PS coole over to the other side as opposed to behind the oil cooler- was easy- a little extra hose and bolted right back in.
Been screwin around with the SS oil lines past couple hours- under the car is fine and into the front thru fender pretty straight forward- getting lines up to top of cooler - behind cooler & in front of radiator is real real real tough. Not much clearance to get hoses redirected but as Mbobo said above I can't see anyother way- wish Stillen had better more illustrative directions

completed stillen oil cooler install (standard model)- Instruction real bad so thanks MBobo your DIY was real helpful- I followed same route and also ended up putting the long SS line on pass side.

Two mods I did-
1. relocated the PS cooler to the drivers side not behind oil cooler- noticed when tracked PS got real hot so did not think good idea to put directly behind oil cooler- easy to move just bought some 3/8 hose.
2. Added a bracket to better route the SS lines from behind the cooler over to the wheel area- simple "L" bracket but it really worked out well- does not hold hose tight but just gives it guide- pics below

ATF will work for power steering fluid? I found some Amsoil synthetic low viscosity ATF for Dextron VI. Is this similar to the Castrol stuff?

ATF IS what they use for power steering fluid.

Cool. thanks for the write-up, btw...+1 rep
