Get a STM oil cooler delete kit for $20, it blocks off the 2 oil lines at the oil pump. Once the motor is well broke in, find a good used oil cooler(off a running engine) or upgrade to a STM piece at a great price. This is what I'm doing and it'll keep you from damaging a new motor and will keep the new oil cooler clear of any major metal shavings from break-in.

The oil cooler delete kit sounds good for a temporary break in. The temps here are around 70 degrees during the day and i'm not going to be beating on it.

Went ahead and ordered the oil delete kit. I will run that for the first 1500 miles. After that 3rd oil change I will run the STM setup.

scrivs - detonation from bad gas. They took a sample and determined that the gas was lower ocatance - around 90

UPDATE for everyone

Purchased a 9 turbo and sent it off to be upgraded to 71HTA, FP Wastegate, and 84mm comp cover. Also I have added a jmf o2 dump and will be running a little bit of methanol. Buschur intercooler also... The engine has about 1700 miles on it and is running strong. I still haven't been able to go WOT in 1700 miles. Still on a partial throttle break-in tune.

I did beat my friends 2004 Cadillac CTS-v only running him from a stop with half throttle and shifting at 6500 rpms
