More parts arrived today.
Setrab 19 row oil cooler, -8 fittings in black and thermostatic takeoff plate. Cheers to Ben @ Hel Performance
2nd intake trumpet for another foglight intake duct
Powerflex exhaust hangers... funny story behind these but needless to say the old ones are shagged.

My Spidey sense thinks that the new fog intake has something to do with the new oil cooler... mounted just behind the bumper perhaps? Similar-ish to Neil (EMB) one but different ducting?
Care to share the story on the exhaust hangers?
On mine - since I last saw you I've had the thermostatic plate fitted for my oil cooler now so that's another thing off the list. However, the SPA's only read 74-78 deg c on cruise. I think this is because they are taken at the cooler, I suspect 'in engine' temps are a in the 84-88 range - sound about right?

The exhaust hangers PMSL. I came outside to see the car the other day and noticed the exhaust laying on the floor. Basically my OE exhaust hangers had perished away and broken on their own. I couldnt help but PMSL as i thought it was just the car saying it couldnt be arsed to hang on to my system anymore haha.
So with that in mind i ordered a full set of Poly hangers.
Oil temps sound okay Ross but really you should be taking your readings from the boss mounted above #3 cylinder.

Low pressure is exactly what you want. The low pressure helps draw the air from the cooler with the high pressure forcing it through at the front.
Porsche have been using this design since the year dot and the new Nissan GTR also has its oil cooler venting into the front nearside wheel well.
There is no doubt that it works very very well. Certainly well enough for my road car.
