Default Oil cooler fittings - urgent help required

well, am building a custom twin oil cooler system and installing them instead of the foglamps, with a design of either:

1- Engine >>> cooler 1 >>> cooler 2 >>> engine.

or

2- engine >> cooler 1 >> engine
& engine >> cooler 2 >> engine


HOWEVER, im concerned, I got two identical properly sized oil coolers, with the only difference of the fittings. One has a -10 an fitting and one a -8 an and im kinda confused which one to go with.

engine is a high boost twin turbo warhawk, oil used is either 10w-40 or 20w-50 ill have to decide depending on engine oil running temps and thus pressure etc...

Dry sump I assume? If dry sump, you could do:

tank >> cooler 1 >> Pump >> cooler 2 >> motor >> tank.

If that is the case you got hat routing, use the bigger fitting before the pump.

Or whats the dimensions of the cooler. width x length x thickness

I've got a trucool 36 pass cooler mounted where my air pump used to be. I used AN10 fittings. My 408 temp dropped from ~275 to ~200.

With twin turbo, I would go with the -10.
