OEM Rad as well. I never had one issue with that car and it made over 400whp. Over double the factory output. I think its a little broad of a statement to say that adding a Turbo without additional oil cooling for it will kill the engine or Turbo itself. Hell, I've never seen a VW person add an oil cooler. Even the 900hp vr6 drag/street car we run has stock oiling and cooling.
Aren't the lines on those passed through a sandwich plate that is water cooled? OEM comes cooled just not with a traditional cooler. The FRS has none at all, not even the water cooled type
