Message	I just finished replacing all my PS lines today, including a new hardline (that runs along the core support), since mine was destroyed. Then I started thinking, for all that trouble, I should have considered adding a PS cooler. I could have mounted it where the oil cooler would be on the TT core support. I'm pretty sure the inlet/outlet on the TT oil cooler are a little bigger than the 3/8" PS return hose, but it could be made to work. Has anyone ever tried to use an OEM oil cooler to cool PS fluid? Any thoughts? -Brad 1992 Z32 2+2 NA 1996 B14 SE-R 1986 Z31 Coupe NA (For Sale) ________________________ "You were 100% correct." - Kenny on October 10, 2006 at 1:15 PM "2+2s must be carnivorous.
