Who has ran a front mount turbo with the factory hood then changed to a vented? An oil cooler and an upgraded radiator is MORE $ than a vented hood and i dont care how good your cooler is its hard to get air to move into a sealed box.
On a budget i honestly think vented with stock cooling system will be more beneficial.

IMO the bottom mount turbo is better for heat. Although I would still recommend a upgraded radiator and an oil cooler anyway (or a vented hood). with a front mount setup, I have heard of people that have a upgraded rad and oil cooler still not being able to keep engine heat down, someone needs to do a compairison to see which effectively cools more, stock cooling and vented hood vs stock hood and upgraded cooling.
What has been said, water cooled turbos are the best option.
not sure where youve been looking at vented hoods but I'd go with seibon and it's not exactly cheaper than a koyo rad and a oil cooler kit
