Will this fit with procharger stage 2 intercooler?

Our oil cooler kit will definitely fit the original Pro-Charger kit with room to spare.Will this fit with procharger stage 2 intercooler?
The ceramic coated headers are definitely a bonus, however, not enough to prevent oil cooler issues.If I get the Streetfighter ceramic-coated headers , do you think this oil cooler is still necessary (spirited daily driver, occasionally on a track at amateur level for fun) ?
I'm imagining that those headers wont have the heat-soak issues that the stock ones do
Cheers
The dealers are offering our Streetfighter Cooler Kit purely as a solution to both upgrade the standard oil cooler with a higher performing more robust unit, as well as eliminating any risk of failure from the standard unit. This becomes purely customer choice and paid for accordingly by the customer.Ford Australia has nothing to do with it.When you are doing the installation at the request of the dealer is the dealer sharing the cost with the owner or any suggestion that Ford Aus may contribute anything to the exercise?
many thks
It can get worse than that.If the cooler has failed and it’s milky keep driving it and burn the block out. Far better then watching them attempt to clean the gunk out of the cooling and lubrication system
Fingers crossed! I quite fancy ford replacing my car with a shiny new 2018 model. Must remember to take my fire extinguisher out of the car so it can’t be saved.It can get worse than that.
We know of an oil cooler failure that resulted in an under bonnet fire.
The factory engine oil cooler failed externally and squirt oil onto the hot exhaust.
Luckily this was on a track day, and there fire extinguishers readily accessible to stop the vehicle from total burning.
Because despite this being a well known issue Ford won't say what they will do after warranty expires. So at this stage the options after warranty expires are to hope it doesn't happen to you, place complete trust in Ford that they will replace your engine (for the life of the car) if it milkshakes or leaks badly to the extent it causes damage, or buy an aftermarket kit because the first two options don't appeal. None of which are ideal unless you're doing a lot of track time and #3 becomes a no brainer anyway. If you haven't seen it the main thread is here:Hang on, it caught fire? I assume you let Ford know or you didn't bother because it happened on a track? Ford have said that they will replace/fix failed oil coolers. So not sure why spending money on a replacement is a good idea?
If the oil cooler goes with the SF system on it - I am assuming SF are going to fix it?
