    Oh, I am reading...but to me, deleting an item like an oil cooler because it is leaking is not the correct course of action. While things like the clutch booster tank can be removed without ill effects, things like the oil cooler are there for a very good purpose and IMO shouldn't be deleted if leaking, they should be fixed. Unless it's a temp thing to limp around out of boost until you can afford the time or money to fix it correctly.

    Do you have any temp data? Share please.

    K cars never had oil coolers, turbo or not. Then again, they used coolant/oil cooled T3 garretts from the factory. On the other hand, some switched to oil cooled turbos. (the flavor they picked was not available with coolant cooling) Those cars are still on the road today. So for a longevity test, the only ill effects I could foresee would be higher cartridge temps, and what happens there is another discussion.

    I'm sure I missed something in the other two pages, I didn't have time to buz through them.
