Default oil cooler with turbo motor

Was wondering how many have ran an oil cooler with a turbo set up.

I Would like to know how you like it and if it is even worth it for a car that will be driven on the street and some pics of how you plumbed it.

With your set up.. are you having the oil go through the filter first, then to the cooler then everywhere else?

How are you guys plumbing your oil coolers? I was planning on using the stock oil lines from a C6 Z51 Vette. Just like this one.

It mounts right where the oil block is at. My only concern with that is that it might lower the pressure on the oil that's feeding the turbos.

What setup do you guys have?

This is what im trying to find out... The biggest question I need answered is how to plumb the whole thing so that the oil goes through the filter first, then through the oil cooler... Modular turbo makes a piece that has already been drilled and tapped for the oil feed for the turbo plus it has a magnet to catch any fin metal pieces... Im looking for the piece to allow me to relocate the oil filter somewhere else...

I was looking at one of these hoping it'll work

Lingenfelter sells a nice adapter is 10AN for the supply/return to the cooler has port for the turbo oil line and a port for a oil temp senser, running one on mine now, then just pick up a 10AN cooler and hoses cost's about 250 for it all.

Find out whether you even need one first.

What sort of oil temps are you seeing ?
