I accidently didnt realign my car after the engine was dropped back in so i needed to replace the tires and im waiting on seats, Pioneer Double Din in-dash kit, brembo big brake kit, and my LSD to come in. ill be posting some pictures as soon as everything else is installed.

I think the biggest concern I'm having with twin turbo installs is the oil temperature. I'm confident that the turbo bearings themselves have little to no impact on oil temperatures, but I'm curious as to how fast oil temperatures increase when under boost. Any sort of information you can give in terms of street driving and/or track use would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the key to keeping oil temps in check with FI (if you track your car or drive it HARD) is to increase the volume. An oil pan spacer along with a quality aftermarket oil cooler kit should be enough to reduce oil temps significantly.

A oil pan spacer plus a good oil cooler kit is a

But depending on weather plus how your street driving is will also affect the temp. No oil temp problems for me.

I don't think you would have a problem on the street. How long can one leave it on boost in a daily driver?

The track is a whole different story. An oil cooler would be the way to go.
