After having deleted and reinstalled my OE oil/water cooler - I'd imagine adding one would be easy.. but you would not be able to mirror the OEM installation easily. The water inlet/outlets are added to the coolant hard lines on the drivers side of the block in models that came equipped.. changing those out would be problematic. However, adding tee's to some of the soft lines would be a pretty easy way to get some flow through the cooler. I'd study the flow diagrams in the pre/post FSM's to determine where to tap for the inlets and outlets.

The cooler itself is just a sandwich plate with coolant inlet and outlet nipples. You'll need the oil filter stud from a 12+ model to install it.

I am only using the OE cooler in FL and I am TT...though I get a big assist from my performance oil pan.

edit: crazy how expensive the units in that thread are... I am sure you could get an OEM take-off cooler and filter stud for cheap from someone who deleted theirs.
