It seemed pretty solid, but over time vibration started separating the cooler right above the fittings anyway.

Seems like it might be one of those things you ask yourself "is the benefit worth all this work". might reconsider seeing how i dont really want to be doing r&d on every last thing i have been building. I think my main focus should be testing everything i have fab'd thus far. I believe the biggest problem i will have is the uppipe vibration and weight of the turbo. I am thinking i should reinforce it. top mount oil cooler is on the back burner.
