Boxer engines in general just seem to run hot, especially turbocharged ones. The big thing for me is that these older EJ motors are known for seeing knock events when conditions aren't ideal, so keeping the entering air and engine oil cool is pretty important.

I'll end up doing a few other small things too when I go to put the oil cooler on. Everything together should help keep IATs and engine bay temps down, which will help prevent heat soak.
