I have a 2"X5"X12" oil cooler. With the 2 computer fans mounted the total thickness will be about 4.5"
Initially I was planing on mounting the unit under the trunk on the passenger side as many others have done. It was suggested to mount it in the forward section of the rear fender well. While mounting my race tires recently I took a good look at the space and there is a ton of room in the forward section of the fender well. Doesn't Porsche mount some of their oil coolers in the same spot? I would be really interested in hearing the pros and cons of this location. |

Joseph....
so if your running a stock valance (no spoiler?) then I'm probably wrong about the lack of airflow. the situation I had back when was one of those rubber lipped spoilers that was 1 inch off of the ground and allowed no air flow at the highway at 80mph send me your email address and I'll link you into my ofoto's for more pics. brant |
