i was wondering if having an oil cooler would give me any kind of gain? or is it just for more reliability?

combustion temps on turbo cars are higher leading to higher operating temps, a cooler wouldnt hurt at all, forget greddy/greedy, theirs is too much, get an earls thermostatic sandwhich adapter some dash 10 fittingsa and an earls oil cooler core. it will cost half as much as greddy's.

get it.. adds to your oil capacity as well.. do a search.. this topic has been covered several times.

I was acutaly just reading a book on turbo setups and it said you should always get a oil temp guage before you spend money of an oil cooler. The reason is that oil sould be within a certain temp range to work effectively, if it's too hot OR too cool the chemical properties don't work like they are supposed to. So, you could acutally be harming your engine by adding a oil cooler and running oil that is not at the correct temp to protect your engine!!

the greddy oil cooler comes with a thermo switch that routes the oil to the oil cooler after a certain temp is reached. the only way i see the oil being TOO COLD is if you live in alaska, have an 8 qt capacity, have a huge oil cooler & a huge radiator

Yeah, I understand what you're saying, I think most if not all of us could benefit from an oil cooler, but I was just thought I'd pass on some info I read!

ha... have you done a search in the last few months? if you actually type "oil cooler".. this is the only thread you see listed.

I recommend it as well, I'm going boost, and I'm getting a custom one.

Yeah, I did a search too and this is all I found.

People here always like to say "DUH.. DO A SEARCH DUH!!" Get's kind of annoying when you do, and you don't find anything.
