| Quick I need this by tomorrow. Where are you guys running you external oil coolers. And no it wont be in the engine compartment. I am running a dog house (Heidi House) it is full flow system. And now it will have a relocated oil filter, the old filter hit the header.
I am so close I can almost smell it.
Dumped $150.00 on fittings, The hose is left over from the Porsche project.
Thanks | |

| A turbo heats oil just like that. I am going to run a oil cooler on the return oil from the turbo to the motor. I am running an oil pump and should help a lot. Plus better routing. | |

| I was just kidding Dave. I think I have seen them inside the fender well and under the package tray. | |

| It would be a whole lot easier smack dab in the back where the muffler was. Its not my first choice but the more I look at the better I like it.
Thats today | |

| If I'm not too late, you want to put it somewhere flooded with cool air. Putting it somewhere hot or that's being blasted with hot air from the engine is counter-productive. Inner fender, and be sure to hose it off now and then. | |

| If you're thinking about running a 'tail' without a deck lid, then put in on the underside of the spoiler.... | |

| The Porsche guys are running computer pancake/cooling fans they move air and have a very low amp draw. Oh and they are cheep in case you melt a few.
