I was going to install a remote cooler on my van.had bought it and
everything.  BUT.......

could not see a way to route the lines that would not come in contact with
the exhaust pipes.

If anyone has done this on a WBX, please send me pics and what you used.  It
is 95+ for about 6 months of the year where i live, and my oil temps get
high...........especially with a/c.
