Default Are you referring to the N-ter Cooler?

It seems like it could be pretty helpful for people running race chips on A4's and S4's. Especially the high boosting K04's, from what I've heard, they tend to get very hot.

I don't know how good it would be with an oil cooler. FMOC's by themselves tend to do the job very well, add in that and you may be running a little cooler than you should be. Oil needs to be at a certain temp range, so you wouldn't want it too cool.

Another thing is I wonder if it puts a lot of stress on the IC? Changing temperatures like that could maybe cause it to crack?? Not sure, anyone else know?

Default Well, I don't think the NX piece would work good with an oil cooler....

but you could say have it hooked up to an intercooler and then have your oil cooler chilled by just the wind. It really all boils down to whether or not you need it. Everyone could benefit from cooler intake temps, whether it requires the N-ter Cooler or just a FMIC or anything else, but the factory usually does a pretty good job of keeping the oil temps right where they need to be. So unless your chipped(or more) and track alot and get sky high oil temps I really don't see a need for the oil cooler. If you do need an oil cooler, be sure to get a temp valve for it, that way it won't allow oil to pass and be cooled unless it is at a temp where it needs to be cooled.
