that is the cooler
precisely like the MSP oil cooler, it is cooled by your coolant.
I went this route for a couple reasons:
1. daily driver, even in the winter. I don't want my oil staying cold in the winter, and my thermostat will keep the oil right at a good temperature. A radiator-looking oil cooler would perform too well here in the winter when it's -20F
2. I don't like running oil lines. if a coolant line ruptures, oh well you pull over. Blow an oil line, and you're done. It'll spray out your oil so fast that you can't really do anything about it. With this style cooler, I just run coolant lines to the two MASSIVE pipes on the thing and I'm done.

you need to make a trip to a toprotege meet and get all sorts of stuff done and purchased while you're there 
I just can't think of a material to have mine done in, otherwise I'd already be up there having it done
