My daily driver is a 16 WRX :p
So a red hot turbo is able to be cooled adequately by coolant, but oil somehow cannot be cooled by the same coolant over a larger area? And does the turbo not also have oil running through it as well, contributing significantly to oil temps? Sorry - this is sounding more and more like an effort to sell aftermarket stuff, and less like a discussion of how things actually work in real life.
