Yeah, but for those of us who need it for street use - it sounds like a good option.

Nobody NEEDS it for street use. If so you're driving too aggressively.

Has anyone not gotten the kit from him as yet?
I sent him payment on Aug.6, he said he was going to ship it next day.
On Aug. 20 he says he had a family issue, and it will be shipped that day.
The tracking # he provided to paypal still says pre-shipment USPS is waiting item.
Aug.25 I asked for an udpate.
Today again I asked for an update.

No response as yet.
I am understanding if you let me know there is going to be a delay, but I'm running out of patience here.
Just wanted to see if anyone else is in limbo.

would the do88 steering cooler solve this once and for all?

I am also interested to know if the do88 would fix the spraying issue as just adding this will not fix issue

For street maybe. For track there is no true fix though the sweat sock does a pretty good job of preventing spraying.

Can you confirm?

BMW made the ports larger for the inlet and outlet. The "switch" happens when an installer incorrectly assumes that BMW only made one port larger and takes the stock larger power steering hose and puts it on the smaller port of the new reservoir. Two adapters are needed so the smaller stock hose connects to the smaller port and the larger stock hose connects to the larger port on the reservoir.

Tracking number provided but package never dropped off.

Filing a paypal claim, buyers beware.

Thanks for the heads up. Was going to purchase but you just saved me a potential headache!

Thanks for the notice. He was responding rather slowly and then stopped all together so I didn't send my payment.
