Do they make oil cooler attachments for products like griffin radiators?

Only reason I ask is cause my turbo is like 2 inches from the radiator and it works pretty well but if I start to overheat (just got motor back in car and idling today) I wanted to see what other options there were besides ripping the headers apart and physically moving the turbo back.

Im also running an evans coolant pump setup.

Ok, got the low down: The radiator itself wiill drop temps 20%. The oil cooler will drop the oil temp 30*-40* This is sufficient for most drag racers.

They do have an option to drop the oil temp 100* for the serious hardcore guys. A remote cooler and then you would order the radiator without the cooler option. This is more for the long open road and endurance racing guys. THe cooler can be used for various things not just engine oil. They have two sizes of it.

In-line Dual 14 Plate Heat Exchanger

Designed to be installed in-line between the radiator and water pump.

Doesnt sound like a good option for you, but I'm sure you could plumb it.
