   my vts track car...
   
   ive killed one bottom end, i now run a baffle in the sump. my last trackday the oil became very thin and the engine got a very tappy sound coming from top end. the oil temp gauge (in the dials) went just above half temp.
   
   id like to run an uprated oil cooler with thermostat. is there a kit out there thats going to retain the standard cooler too? i dont want to change my top radiator hose if i have to as its a new silicone kit.
   
   i wold also like an oil temp and pressuge gauge with everything required to fit.

   just plug the two hoses?
   
   you're oil filter is gonna stick out miles if you have the stock heat exchanger AND a thermostatic take off plate as well
