What do you mean? Is there a way i could ahve installed it without the stock one? I didnt have the time to install this so i had a shop do it, they said it needed to re-use the stock location.

You can put that greddy adapter which happens to be an oil filter sandwich adapter too in place of the stock oil cooler. Block off the water lines to the oil cooler and take off the threaded bushing/nut that holds the oil cooler. If you look at your setup the greddy adapter actually bolts in the same way as the stock oil cooler does. Its up to you, you can keep it or you can remove it. Remove it and youll have more clearance to your downpipe also.

If you still are using the stock oil cooler on your car and the Greddy unit has a thermostat like it should. I doubt if you are using your Greddy cooler 95% of the time. But you did say the stock one was broke, so I would just take it off there all together

This is a very good point.

I switched to a 90 oil filter housing for my 6bolt engine.

mach V sells them along with the EVO III housing for the 7bolt engine.

I bought a Moroso Oil sandwich adapter and a oil cooler, but could use suggestions for where to mount the cooler. I have an automatic so the tranny cooler is in front of the drivers side wheel. Is the only option to remove the front clip and put it in fromt of the radiator ? The cooler is only 12" x 5" , but I dont really see another spot to mount it. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

SlowSpyder, are those the stock lines? Do they attach to the oil cooler like stock or did you need to buy different fittings?

EDIT: Nevermind I'm an idiot. So this sandwich adapter, how does it work?

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm trying to do some research on how I can install an oil cooler on my 2g turbo without spending an ass load. My friend has a 1990 air-oil cooler and a 1990 oil filter housing that he's willing to donate to help my cause

How can I get this done propperly, and as cheap as possible? What's this Sandwich adapter???

Thanks guys.
