[mkiv] Factory oil cooler alternatives

[Kurt Chalopiza]

Anyone have a recommendation on which hose to go with for the coil cooler?  I wanted something with a Teflon lining, but I've only found it up to 8an size. 
   
  Considering Earl's Pro-Lite 350.  Nylon sheath over synthetic rubber rated up to 300* and 350psi.  Should be more flexible than the SS braided stuff so easier to install.
   
  I do many HPDEs in the Texas heat.  Will that rubber lined stuff be sufficient?
   
  Thanks

Do you want to remove the old oil cooler or leave it in place as an oil
warmer? Water heats up faster than oil and the water to oil heat
exchanger will work in reverse for a time.

Put a spin-on adapter in place of the oil filter and set up a remote oil
filter. Use -10AN or -12AN lines. If you have an FMIC you can put the
oil cooler where the old SMIC was on the passenger side. You also need
to use an oil thermostat so you don't over-cool the oil. Don't forget
that the oil lines will cool off the oil a little and the oil lines will
get hot.

I'm partial to Setrab coolers.
