a turbo timer is probably a good idea as well

If your water cooled and have the cooling system properly designed there is no need for a timer


Even then, so long as you take it easy for the last few miles everything will be fine.







But yea, oil coolers are always good. But you need to get one with a thermo valve in it. As you dont want cold oil right after you started it to be flowing through the cooler. It would take forever to warm up the oil that way.

So
oil cooler>turbo timer or turbo timer>oil cooler? or both
thanks for the heads up about the thermo valve

Thanks for all the info guys

and oil cooler is like a condom...

I would rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it

You could if you wanted to, but whatever. Just definately run some good Synthetic oil in your car after being boosted, i.e. Royal Purple or RedLine.
