Also, once again not worried about oil degradation lol. Worried about longevity of the turbo (especially a smaller one like a 20g that produces a pretty substantial amount of heat). Overtime, turbo seals can go and it's a really annoying ordeal to get repaired or replaced
Aren't we talking about the oil temp's effects on engine internals/longevity, not the source of the heat?

The point is that I run my own car far hotter than what you claim is safe.

Yes, my engine is currently stock. Down to the 13.6:1 AFRs, which most would consider unsafe.

Regardless, the FA20 does reduce output with high oil temps, and IMO, every FA20 should have an oil cooler, even NA.
