Oil Coolers And Turbos

WILL A TURBO WORK BETTER WITH A OIL COOLER?

does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?

absolutely, with out a doubt in the world. an oil cooler will allow the turbo to run cooler - giving more power

later

exactly, will prolong the life of the oil and resist viscosity breakdown thats caused by high heat (which the turbo induces).

that is why Mazdaspeed Protege comes equipped with an oil cooler...

BUT THEIR NOT IN MOST AFTERMARKET TURBO KITS

because aftermarket kits don't care as much about long-term reliability as maximum performance at minimum cost.

oh, ANY 3rd gen Proteges w/ the F-series engines (FS-DE, FP-DE) will be able to install the MSP oil cooler without any problem.

Yeah, Edwin has been urging me to get it. I want to, but I want to make sure my money is right with my rebuild before I do that. If I get it installed 1st, he will bug the hell out of me until I write up a how-to.
