Default RUF vs GT oil coolers

Does anyone have any experience with the Ruf aux oil cooler vs the GT oil cooler? In photos the Ruf looks about the same size as the GT and cost fewer $$. Both mount in front of the A/C cooler.

It looks like the Ruf unit uses the original fan. Headon, the units look to be the same although I am not sure in the other two dimensions.

I installed the RUF cooler on my '96 993TT with good results. All pieces fit well and the result was quite noticable-max oil temp on a 95 degree day at the track just about 9:00. Normal operation in slow traffic on hot (Atlanta) days runs at or below the 8:00 mark on the gage.

Den,

The Cargraphic GT auxiliary oil cooler has worked well for me in both street and track situations.

Den I think the RUF is a realitevly new cooler. The cargraphics was the only game in town for awhile. I am guessing the Ruf will be as good as the Cargraphics as its similar in size. Oil coolers are not rocket science. Have a price of 60% of the cargraphics makes the RUF cooler extremely attrractive.
