What immediate effect have you seen on the oil temp when running hard (on the road) with such an oil cooler?
Is it reduced by about say 10c ?

i fitted one behind the drivers brake duct about three months ago.before fitting it riunning 1.2bar i could see about 100-110 degrees temp. :shock:

with it fitted i have never seen more than 85 degrees temp and thats running 1.3 bar on a harder working turbo. 8)

i think mine is a 16row cooler aswell 8)

Someone on this list woz selling kits for about £100 but that woz about 3-4 years ago! I think I woz the first person to fit one behind the passenger side brake cooling duct & it has been no trouble.Oil temp normally 80 but rises to 110 after a hard track sesion.

Shaun would it be possible to fit the oil cooler where Duey's kits on yours ?
Contemplating getting one just need to know if there would be enough space with the Radtec FMIC kit on the car

:D Hi,Flying PostMan,yes mate,theres the same amount of room on both cars,as the Radtech intercooler replaces the standard rad :!: The only reason i didnt fit mine there was because i didnt want the intercooler to suffer from secondery heat :!: I.e if the oilcooler is at 85deg's then the air flowing through it is going to carry that heat onto the intercooler :shock: So i fit mine in the driverside brakeduct 8) Also mines a 16row cooler and Duey's is a 13row cooler :!:

Might consider taking them out if it is gonna cause a problem with the cooling
