Some of the AutoX guys run them. Do a search in Internal, it's there somewhere.

I think LG Motorsports sells one that is integrated with a radiator they sell. You can just adapt a universal fit one for your car.

There is a truck piece that bolts to where our cars
have a blockoff plate. It's expensive for a couple of
steel tubes but given that it runs tucked under the
exhaust manifold it needs to be tough.

Part # 15725587 Truck oil cooler adaptor - obsolete
Part # 15203890 Truck oil cooler adaptor hoses
Part # 15203889 Truck oil cooler adaptor gasket

I know I chased this down last year (or earlier) and
posted the info I had found, then decided it wasn't
worth the effort. You're on your own for the actual
cooler part.

I think the sandwich type deal is probably smarter.
