GReddy oil cooler w/ race shroud, for those wondering which cooler I use.

I'm sure if i drove the car hard it'd come up to an acceptable temperature. My driving was just interstate or local commute, under 30 minutes in duration. If i had the turbo on at that point I have no doubt that the oil would have been plenty warm!

By crusiing, I mean just driving at the same pace your typical Camry would be going, speed limit on the highway for example, which is the worst case "too cold" scenario.

Back to the topic at hand for OP.


Brass T Fitting to tap into a vacuum line for your boost gauge or other. Reflective heat tape/thermal wrap for the radiator fan wires, coolant lines. If you're running an earlier model, then make sure to get some hose clamps to clamp those evap lines under the intake manifold.



I personally run a boost and oil temp gauge. I like to see my coolant, then oil get up to operating temperatures first before I hit boost. For AFR, Fuel Trims, CEL I run the OFT mounted to my dash.
