If you have the factory aux cooler, compare your new one, to the factory one. Install whichever one is BIGGER. No need for both.

its running better, so, might just be normal. So long as it isn't harsh, smile, and enjoy it.

Make sure you have an ACCURATE torque wrench.

You are going to need a 8mm (or 5/16ths) square socket for the adjustment, not going to find that in a store.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grey-Pneumatic-1010FP-3-8in-Drive-x-5-16in-Square-Female-Pipe-Plug-Socket-New-/331518192875?hash=item4d30062ceb&item=331518192875&vxp=mtr
-Also need a 8mm open end wrench
-A 3/8ths drive T40 socket
-A deep 3/4 socket
-An inch pound torque wrench as mentioned.

I like the way this youtube guy does it on his 727, keep in mind our adjustment is slightly different
