I have a 2"X5"X12" oil cooler. With the 2 computer fans mounted the total thickness will be about 4.5"
Initially I was planing on mounting the unit under the trunk on the passenger side as many others have done. It was suggested to mount it in the forward section of the rear fender well. While mounting my race tires recently I took a good look at the space and there is a ton of room in the forward section of the fender well. Doesn't Porsche mount some of their oil coolers in the same spot? I would be really interested in hearing the pros and cons of this location. |

I agree with the others. Find something else to spend your money and time on... Josh, if you need a cooler you might want to think about a jailbar style and mount it in a front fender location. This is what I'm using in the RS. Attached thumbnail(s) |
