Wanted to follow-up here.

I mounted the oil cooler behind the intercooler There is about 7-8mm clearance to the radiator and about 3mm to the intercooler. It's snug but it works.

I have mine mounted behind the inter cooler with my boosted performance and with my gtm supercharger kit it was mounted in the wheel well no vents ...comparing the two boosted performance location with 30 row cooler was running ~220 daily driving and when driving hard it might creep up to 225-230 ish ...and with the supercharger kit I was using a 25 row cooler and it was about 10 degrees less in both circumstances with wheel well location ...that was in 100 degree or better South Carolina summer

One thing I have noticed is in stopped traffic the cooler located behind the inter cooler ...coolant temps would increase taking the temp gauge to 60-65% it would drop as soon as I started moving getting air flowing again .....I didn’t like that and I’m in the process of relocating to the wheel well with some non-fanned vents

Is your BP kit the Comp Turbo?

I was curious if you have oil cooling the turbo.

My coolers setup between radiator and IC. Middle pictures are clearances looking from either side. Daily driven in South Carolina summer (not as hot as some, I know) with zero issues.

Lower left: Power Steering
Upper left: Transmission
Right: Oil

The boosted performance intercooler is much wider ...I wouldn’t say I was having a issue ..just noticed the increase in coolant temp when stopped on a hot day ....but relocating it shouldn’t do anything but increase airflow and maximize the coolers ..the 2015 and up in’s one bumpers have a lower vent that guides air straight to the wheel well
