Why would you want to do that? If you have the air cooler currently on the car keep that and stay away from the water cooler that runs the risk of mixing your oil and coolant. If you are concerned about the cooling efficiency of the stock cooler get an aftermarket one and run AN lines from the filter housing to your new cooler.

What year is your car? If your current car is a 6 bolt, you have to exchange the complete oil filter housing from your parts car to your current car. If your current car is not a 6 bolt, get ready to spend a few hundred and search for an evo 7 bolt oil filter housing with the ports for an external oil cooler.

if you have a 6 bolt, that oil filter housing and cooler from your parts car should bolt up no problem.
