I am moving to arizona to go to UTI and i need to make the porsche reliable in the heat. I have already bought a fuel pump relocation kit and now i am looking to buy an oil cooler i just do not know were to begin. I found a couple of kit online one by autoatlanta but it seems to small and one by empi that seens alright. I just had some questions about where to mount the cooler and if i should just replace the stock cooler with a big bastard or just to put an auxilary cooler on the car and if there are any other things i need to do to it so it will run good down there? Thanks,
James

I lived in the low desert of Calif for eleven years. 125 is not uncommon duering

the summer.I put an external cooler and this helped. I also run the engine a little

fat, this also seems to help. Other than that I try to keep my foot out of it and it

has survived so far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)
