An oil cooler i.e. a radiator for your oil.

So the oil cooler is attached to it?

no it is the oil cooler, just like a seatrab oil cooler, it is just located on the radiator.

what surprises me about the sts system is ... still little or no video nothing for those who are interested to watch compare with a sc 370z or a TT . I mean if you want me to spend 7000 grand I would like to see it win some races or perform well on the track ! No disrespect but STS should do a little promo or something ? what do you guys think ? The system looks great but lets see some vids

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. I was thinking along these lines

Well I will be working on some videos soon. Going to try to get mine tuned again at another shop. Hopefully they can fine tune out the bugs.
Trust me unless you have heard one or taken a ride in one you wouldn't understand. It might not produce a much as a GTM TT but your also only getting one turbo that it capable of going up to 630hp. You are also not using up space under the hood.
I've been happy with the results for the price ( I went for basically the top of the line version) and I don't blame STS for the problems I have had, I blame the shop that installed it.

Great cant wait for the VIDS ! what was included in your build and the cost? would you change anything about the build that is ? any over heating ? what size oil cooler do you have ? Thanks

Total with install was around $10,000, but as I said I went all out. Methanol injection, oil cooler, ceramic coated, ball bearing upgrade, & boost controller.
No overheating at all, even when I'm running it hard. The highest I've seen the oil get was around 200 and the water temp holds steady at 1 bar below half way.
Save your money on the on the meth injection unless you can find a larger tank that will fit. Currently using my windshield washer bay and it's gone after about 25min of hard boosting.
Unsure on the size of the oil cooler. The build was done while I was out of town so my pic's are limited. I will however be removing the factory body kit and replacing it with an Amuse body kit shortly. So I should have a better idea on that. Carbon fiber AMS hood will be in on Friday next week.
All in all when it's cold,like today, I was driving at 45mph in 3rd and slammed the gas and the car went sideways on the interstate. Most people fall back because they thought I was going to wreck.
