I figured that. So where to put it? Before the turbo? Or in a completely seperate loop? How are all you with oil coolers doing it?

Get an oil cooler block that sandwiches between your oil filter and engine. No modding necessary, they are cheap and seem to work well. The benefit here is that all of the oil going to your motor is being cooled, with more oil flowing through the oil cooler, the more it will reduce oil temps.

So its not a good idea to put a cooler between the outlet of the scavenge pump and the return into the pan? I really do not see why It would be a negative issue.

They mean without a scavange pump and just a normal gravity drain

You really want to cool all the oil flowing through the engine, not just the relatively small volume passing through the turbo.
