because the turbo don't need all your engine oil to feed it... the cooler you want all of your engine oil to go threw it... so that it actually cools all of your oil down if you just use the lil bit thats going to come out of the pressure switch port your only cooling a tiny bit of the oil down at a time...

ok perfect thanks alot. now this will make all the oil go through the cooler first right? will it still leave me with plenty of thread for the filter to screw to?
when i plan on turboing the car ill run the oil feed straight from the cooler so its cold oil going into the turbo then loop it into the radiator and cool it once again since i have an automatic transmission radiator in my 5 speed car

well my friend has an eclipse with the 420a motor and his oil level was perfect and it hadn't been too many miles on the last oil change when he spun a rod bearing and got terrible knocking sounds. it ground down the crank alot and tore up the bearing. im not sure what viscosity oil it was but it showed signs of extreme heat. idk what the exact problem was but i dont want that to happen to me so i want to throw on an oil cooler plus i plan on going turbo later and it'll help.

sounds like the oil pump failed... but even so i'm planing on an oil cooler for some reason my neon don't like trips much over a 100miles at a time... it seems like if the trip is much longer then that i start going threw oil... its like the oil is getting to hot... which i've had buddies with other cars have the same issue... daily driving i don't hardly go threw any oil... like a 1/4qt per 1k miles...
