oil coolers are pretty much like intercoolers, you can make them fit on anything as long as you have room.

i am going to get one as one of the first things i do to my car after i put the turbo on
sadly they dont make one for our car, that i know of, but there are universal kits for around $50-$100 and yes it will greatly help with turbo and oil temperature. my turbo is going to be a little close to the ac and radiator fans so when those are on it will help with the temps a little too -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

having most anything in the engine running cooler and more efficiently is good -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

actually, if you don't need it, an oil cooler can rob HP from a turbo setup. it's similar to putting a huge intercooler on a setup that doesn't need one that big. for a turbo ST, you don't and won't need an oil cooler. -------------------- 1994 Lexus ES300

What about something like this, i think having more oil and making sure its filtered better will help alot. Since the turbo lives off oil, come to think of it i guess the entire motor does to

I think you should find out what you want to do(boost) and later you can add the oil cooler.The priority for you should be the builting of the engine around the turbo and you can add later those things
 But always an oil cooler for turbo engines is a good option
