i know that the MSP comes with an oil cooler stock, it's not the best one but does help a bit, i tried to buy one but didn't have the needed tools to remove it at the time, now it's gone :(

a regular oil cooler is about 50-80 bucks plus lines. is it worth it? since the oil needs to be at a certain temperature to properly lubricate and move. and synthetic has a higher working temperature than dino oil, would it really help the turbo and maybe prolong my oil life?


thoughts?

The advantage to the MSP oil cooler is that it operates at any speed since it doesn't require airflow. I'm still looking into an oil cooler myself, until then.. lots of oil changes :D The huge advantage to the MSP oil cooler is not needing to run any extra oil lines.
