Hussam, I would get rid of the cats so that you don't have to worry about the cats breaking up and ruining the turbos. Synthetic oil doesn't break down like a conventional oil can, so the added heat may not make a difference. An oil cooler can make a huge difference in oil temp's, and we have seen oil coolers drop the engine temp as a result of cooler oil temps. Bob

An X pipe may help velocity for the rear mount turbo's, but I haven't seen any test to indicate either way.

$950.00 shipped for the radiator with the oil cooler. Thanks! Bob
