Default Procharger oil cooler idea

Im wondering, anybody think about using a fitting in the top and bottom of a procharger then running a couple lines to a cooler and pump and back up to the procharger? Could help to increase the oil capacity and cool them down some? Would it work?

I don't think there's an issue with the temp of the procharger oil. It's specifically designed to be run in the procharger head unit. Also, would you want to take a chance on pump failure?

^^^ Yep got to agree with these guys.. No reason for it really.. What they need to do is come out with a vent for the case, so that in extreme heat the unit will not be as prone to puking seals.. I have tried a few diff ways, but still seemed to puke oil out of the vent/breather.. The case def makes pressure, I would think up to 4 or so psi..
