My original plan was to use the OEM oil to water heat exchanger. I am now planing to use water cooling on my turbo as well. If you think about it a water cooled turbo is pretty similar cooling of the hot oil with coolant.

My question is this can i use both? or would it be too much strain on the cooling system. I do have a an upgraded Radiator 3" aluminum similar to mishimoto style.

any input or recommendation would be great

You're saying cooling the oil in the turbo will help the overall system?

no just help longevity of the turbo.....or should I ditch the heat exchanger and just use a water cooled turbo setup

Don't over complicate things. Water cooling the turbo is fine.

Oil cooler can work as well, but needs a dedicated air flow source. If its a regularly street driven car, not all that necessary.

I think he means the oil to water cooler the gsr came with thats screwed in between the block and oil filter. I always wondered how effective they really are
