72031, oil cooler....is it worth it?
Posted by lickscissors, Jun-02-04 10:02 AM
i was thinking of getting an oil cooler and placing it right before the turbo...right now i have a rubber 5/16 transmission hose feeding the turbo...what if i just carried that down the the front with an oil cooler and back to the turbo....would that drain too much pressure to the turbo? would it be worth it? i just want to take care of my cute turbo...thanks

id get an adapter sandwich to the oil filter location and run stainless lines to a front/side mount oil cooler. dont tap it before the turbo (as in on the feed line) you want the cool oil to circulate through the engine as well as the turbo, not just the turbo and then have it drain back into the hot oil in the pan

Is it worth it???
I believe it does.
I'll let you know in two weeks when I install mine.
