Oh, hmmm, that is a good point... I have to beg the excuse of less
familiarity with some of the turbo setups - the oil cooler brackets I
have messed with seemed to feed only the cooler.

They may be ok, but they are on the low end of the range, and most of us
are used to seeing the gauge peg the 5 bar + mark whenever the engine is
revved, cold or warm.  So he is nervous...
