Oil Cooler Install

My next project , just got to figure out were to mount it. ANy ideas?

where there's air flow.

Considering your front bumper's design it seems like a good idea to put it in front of or near one of the two side ducts where the I/C piping is exposed, or thereabouts where it's close to an opening for air.

Great idea! I would mount it at the top of the intercooler but it being more square then rectangle the corner is more logical. The setup looks used how much did you score that for?

Yeah, my car has a lot of used parts I think i picked it up for like $60.

Thats a good price! Where are you tapped for your turbo oil feed now? I'm already running a block (oil filter) adapter now for my oil feed. I want to hook up an oil cooler later but my adapter holes are smaller so I might need to change some things or just run 1/4" lines to the cooler.

I have a y fitting on were the stock oil pressure unit is. Its a pretty common place for ka's with a turbo.
