Some have used an oil cooler, but you WILL have to use a scavange pump then unless you tap somewhere on the engine to run it. You could put on on the line going to the turbo, but that would be pointless.
Self contained meaning no engine oil? I used a gear pump, a small cooler with fan and thermostat, a small resovoir, and an eectronic box to control oil flow. All the pieces are in the back along with the turbo! System hold a bout a quart of oil. It was not a cheap set up a little over a grand for everything minus turbo

Well, the bearings are lubricated in oil, which also carries off heat. You could have a self-contained oil system, if you wish. But lubrication vs. cooling should be considered separate subjects.
