I'm using a subaru filter on mine currently. The downside to the subaru filter is that the sandwich top from racingline is smooth top, so any time you unscrew the filter oil goes EVERYWHERE. I just wait a long time after draining and pad the area with paper towels before pulling the filter. I don't feel Comfortable with reusing their metal substrate filter because it uses a magnet. I might try to just extend filter use since I flush oil frequently.
The racingline "heat exchanger" core is pretty tiny. It's designed for 60hp I believe, which on an engine that already has factory cooling issues is not enough.
and this is why I relocated the oil filter to the bottom of the car. The oil literally drips ALL over the pulley system, belts, electrical plugs/sensors and side of the motor with the way the VWR kit is designed. No way around it regardless of what filter you use.
