Hi Paul,
yep the OE oil cooler location is the optimum spot for an upgraded core.
As I mentioned in a prior post, you do not want to be imposing further airflow restriction to the core of the OE radiator.
"I would not wish to place a further flow restriction in front of the radiator.
It is worth noting that most guys who will buy this kit, are FBO.
As such they will already have a significantly larger intercooler installed in front of the radiator.
Installing a second component that further inhibits air flow through the rad' core is obviously not a good idea."
Cheers,
JD.
