would you not want it in the feed? can you put it in the return? wont it cause a restriction and possibly make your turbo burn oil?

if you do the return that would cause a restriction when draing causing problems, unless your running a scavenge pump then it would be ok

Dave, can't you get one of those long narrow ones that do not take up a lot of frontal area? I have seen some very long two pass exchangers that you can cram along a frame rail or something that might be better for you than a big square. Also consider some sort of ducting to it, if you want to move it out of the nose of the car where it gets direct flow.

That is what I have been looking into on oil coolers.

I think I am going to incorporate an oil cooler. I was trying to cut some unnecessary systems out of the engine bay to try and simplify things, however I think the oil cooler will be worth it. It's going to help control oil temps and also take some load off of the cooling system.
