I know this is an old post but I thought I would slip some related questions in:

I didn't know there was a stock oil cooler??? In any case I installed a remote filter...and an aftermarket oil cooler on the same lines back...so I went to go see where this stock oil cooler looks like. Its mounted on the right side of the radiator right? Anyways, since it operates on bypass...i was wondering if there are any benefits to just deleting it and maybe even using it as a replacement for my stock powersteering cooler so i can get rid of that long wierd thing of a cooler those japanese guys engineered. Or should it not be deleted? I just see it as more places for possible leaks.

CRE, you cut the hard pipes and ran hoses to your aftermarket PS cooler...was it pushlock hoses? anything special about them? I was under the impression that the pressure would pop off any type of hose, so braided lines is a must, even on the PS system. (I read that thread that you linked)
