I'm midway (no where near midway but i like to think i am) through turboing my m20,

Looking at running around 450-500 in the future (but around 200-300 to start)

Should i fit an oil cooler? is it worth the extra time and money?

i will be running an oil cooler for piece of mind really especially when your boosting, a cool engine is a happy engine lol decent intercooler and oilcooler will promote this as well as keeping your oil healthy for longer

I'd run an oil cooler, especially since you will be adding more heat to the oil with the turbo. I plan on running an oil cooler as well when I turbo my M20.
