Oil cooler isn't a bad option but why not try to move the trans cooler so the radiator is getting clean cool air? Wouldn't cost a thing but time and might keep it cool enough.

Glad to see it start. I sure hope this is the golden child you deserve!!!!

The engine coolant stays very cool even with the trans cooler and intercooler in front off it, im not worried about that. The oil doesnt have a cooler but I am thinking about adding one. I have tried the trans cooler lower in front of the air dam with holes cut in it, but it did not work nearly as well.

But you said it was getting warm after a short drive? Extra coolers are always good .

I see. Figured that once you said the coolant was good but we all know what happens when we assume. I would imaging oil temp would be more important in a turbo set up since it lubricats and cools? the turbo. Dose it cool the turbo unit at all or is it just a lube?
