Default Is engine oil cooler a must for Turbo cars ?

I want to know if engine oil cooler a must for Turbo cars because i have TT C5 so i don't have place for the oil cooler adapter as the turbos are near the oil filter place
car is for everyday use and for road racing not for track track or drag

Any help will be appreciated

If you're road racing, your oil temps can get pretty high. You will probably need one.

An oil cooler is a must for any road racing engine, much less on that's boosted. Get one if you can otherwise you'll be cooking your oil (and thus your turbos) fast.
