With regards to oil coolers, I think sometimes people actually forget what they are. The hint is in the name. They cool oil. You only want to cool oil if it's too hot. If you don't know if it's too hot or not, then why try and cool it? An oil cooler requirement should be established from testing, not guessing.
why thankyou kind sir
does an oil cooler really cool oil i can't beleive that
would you really suggest a 130ps 2litre n/a cars oil cooling capabilitys would be sufficent for a 2ltre turbo with twice the power and a turbo generating 1.2/1.4 bar of boost? i'd be very suprises if it was and if i was doing the build i'd fit one as a precaution thats all i was saying
