That looks a big list.   :happy2:

I would be wary of installing the ECS Tuning Billet Aluminum Oil Filter Housing as Awesome found that they leak on both mine a few other cars. The problem has supposedly been addressed by ECS but thought a heads up was necessary.

Additionally you may want to scrub the Forge K04 upgraded actuator from your list as most of the members who have tried it on here and elsewhere wished they hadn't. It requires alot of fine tuning of the actuator's pre-load to get it right.
Without traction power is nothing!

Thanks for the heads up Bacillus.  :happy2:

I will give the K04 actuator a miss and have a think about the ECS aluminium filter housing.

Has anybody else out there on the Forum had issues with the ECS aluminium filter housing.
