With a prefab kit you will loose some adjustability because the lines will come precut and they might have a specifically designed bracket that only mounts one way. If you

If you design your own you have more flexibility.

I did not plan out all my mods either, before install. I needed a special bracket to relocate the oil cooler when the intakes went on. Further delays occured when I but in brake cooling ducts.

It all fit but if I had planned it all out in advance it would have behoved me.

Well i'm trying to plan ahead... can't get a yes / no answer from anybody.

AEM says: They have no idea if they both can fit.
Z1 says: They haven't heard of any issues installing both.

So i'm really at a loss here, suggestions welcome!

I do not know how much bigger, if at all, your parts are vs mine but I feel quite confident by waiting to install these together you will be fine. One of the limiting factors for me was how much extra oil line I had to play with to the O/C already connected.

My signiture with mods shows the order as well. Oil cooler first. Note intakes come much later. And cooling ducts were very recent.
