oil cooler plumbing

[dennis-1009]

Do I need an oil cooler for my turbo? Currently I have it hooked up without an oil cooler. I am almost done with my Talon and I want to make sure I have it hooked up correctly. Thanks.

 

[T is for TURBO]

Huh? Are you asking if you need a seperate oil cooler for your turbo?
The oil cooler on your oil filter housting, (or external oil cooler if you have one) cools all of the engine oil, which is the same oil that goes through your turbo.

Also, what kind of turbo are you running?
Thrust bearing turbos are liquid cooled, meaning they get cooled with engine coolant.
Many Ball Bearing turbos don't need liquid cooling and are efficiently cooled by the oil already supplied by the engine.
