MOD suggestions while fixing my OIL issues

I have a 2010 Cooper S clubman that has a fantastic Oil leak in both the feed and return lines as well as the Oil Cooler housing.. While these guys are in there fixing this... Do you all recommend anything else to be done?

Performance?
Maintenance?

Etc...

Dan

+1 to the detroit tuned super oil line kit. I bought it myself to repair an oil filter housing and turbo oil line leak. Dealer wanted $1200 to fix, I decided to buy the kit and do it myself for $160. With the remaining $1000 I bought a catless DP and big FMIC to install at the same time.

For maintenance items make sure to replace:

-turbo oil line
-return line
-oil cooler gasket
-oil filter housing gasket

I don't think I did anything else besides the above mods/fixes.

For sure when doing a turbo line repair we always install our stainless oil line instead of the stock.

but if you want to add performance adding a downpipe is almost a no brainer as you will have it off for the oil line repair. I like our Akrapovic catted as it makes good power, fits perfect, and has 100 cel cat so it's not real loud.

If you want catless a Milltek is super deal as it's on sale

Also a great time to go ahead with the oil filter housing seals
