I wonder if you could use two of these in tandem?

I would imagine that you’d loss some oil cooler efficiency, and it would need have to have clean air flow. I don’t think it’s that revolutionary of an idea, VW and 914 owners have been mounting oil coolers parallel to air flow for decades.

All that contraption will do is speed up airflow ever so slightly over part of the cooler, the inlet still needs airflow. I see its intended purpose is to be hidden under the car, tucked up against a frame rail or something. It seems like it was designed to make a poorly located oil cooler function slightly better, as opposed to mounting it in a place that would make it actually work efficiently. A cooler with a scoop, wonder what that will cost.
