Been thinking about ways to make this turbo thing work without molesting the car too much, for resale purposes down the line.
Would it be feasible to add the turbo and a2w intercooler inline with the existing oil cooler system?
My initial thought is to have everything in the engine bay, leaving the single stock oil cooler up front to do its thing.
From the output of the cooler, would supply the intercooler with relatively cool oil, then it would go to the engine in its normal fashion, then go to the turbo, then back to the cooler.
I assume I will need to place a scavenge pump inline to get the oil out of the turbo and to the cooler. Just that extra oomph to overcome the new pressure loads in the system. Maybe add a dual oil filter system too.
Is this a good idea?
