Default what do you do for oil cooling?

So I am using the supply port off the side of the oil pan to feed the oil to the turbos via a an4 fitting. That seems to be what everyone does. Maybe I'm over thinking this...but...isn't that where the original oil supply to what would have been the oil cooler? My engine is out of a 2001 2500hd, lq4 variant. Now, with a turbo, wouldn't oil cooling be even more important? What should I do about getting an oil cooling radiator back up front and how do I set up a supply and return? I don't see any mention of this.

If it originally came with a cooler, yes, that's the same location. I don't think you're going to run into oil temp issues unless you're towing heavy at high boost for long periods of time. I wouldn't be concerned with oil temps, honestly.
