Good price, great quality components. I've had multiple small issues with the oil cooler from the turnkey kit leaking, and the fittings are not great quality.

I now outsource the hoses to the same shop that builds majority of the fuel return hoses for this platform. Have the oil cooler kit on my own car, and haven't encountered issues.

If I don't know that there is a problem, I can't really fix it

The male fittings have gaskets which tend to tear and compress unevenly when the male fittings are tightened. I bought an entirely new plate, just to scavenge gaskets surrounded by a metal ring to prevent that. I also had leaks at both elbows of the AN fittings.
