I'm sure it would make a difference, I have seen it done before. If you don't already have an oil cooler on your car for the ENGINE then its pretty stupid to add one for your turbo IMO.

if he can make it fit, get it in a good location with direct air flow, and keep the oil pressure up, then it can only do good. but does your engine create that much heat you need 2 oil coolers?

I think a good overall aftermarket oil cooler (not one inline before turbo) would be of more benefit.
I had a 12X5X2 in my wheel well of my EG, here's a pic.

I plan to do something similar to mike1114's setup. I bought a mocal sandwich adapter with built in thermostat to run the lines.
On a side note Mike I hope you find the ****** that stole your ****...

Re: small oil cooler before the turbo? (mike1114)
If you run a -10AN line as a turbo feed and no restrictor, it will do wonders...for cooling.
If you run the usual 1/16" restrictor, you will be running a very small amount of oil through it. Granted that small amount will sit in the cooler and probably reach amient temps, it still a low volume of oil you are cooling.
