A question for ya... You put a sandwich plate in after you upgraded to the screw-on filter mount, correct? Did you install an oil cooler?

correct, this was the primary reason for my screw on filter mount upgrade.

I did not install a cooler however, there should be enough space in that area for oil lines you will just have to figure out a way to strap the lines secure as they run out to the cooler. They will technically run alongside the bottom end of the block.

Thanks. I had read that many of the sandwich plates would not fit due to proximity to the block, but obviously that's not true. There must be narrow ones available that have a small enough diameter to fit. Secondly, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to have an oil cooler, or minimally, at least initially, monitor oil temps. I was speaking to one of my son's hockey teammate's fathers who has built a number of performance cars, and he said that, in no uncertain terms, I should have an oil cooler. I hadn't mentioned to him that the turbo is water cooled, so that should make a difference. A cooler would also provide a little addditional oil in the system to aid in cooling.

How are you monitoring oil temps? Did you put a sensor in your sandwich plate? Unfortunately, Torque doesn't have access to that PID.

I am definitely installing a transmission cooler, but am on the fence about an oil cooler at this point.
