not sure but I believe ford put out a memo stating that a engine oil cooler should not be fitted to the xr6 turbo.

maybe fordtech could tell us if this is the case and if it is, why are they saying that.

Dealers are being advised Not to fit current V8 auxiliary engine oil cooler to XR6T models.

The current BA owners manual states "If sustained high speed driving is anticipated an auxiliary engine oil cooler should be fitted"

Fitting the current V8 auxiliary engine oil cooler to Turbo models can result in reduced performance of the vehicles engine cooling capacity. The current V8 auxiliary oil cooler when fitted to XR6 Turbo models, limits airflow through the upper radiator,power steering cooler,and turbo intercooler.

FPV are currently developing and testing a suitable oil cooler for turbo models and is expected to be available in Feb 2004.

NT TURBO, Its not that hard to remove for Tech's that know how but unfortunately there are legal ramifications and the chances of finding a willing participant are extremely thin.

Surely it's not illegal to tell us HOW someone MIGHT do it if they were inclined.....

If you have access to a WDS and know how to carry out a PCM reflash with it then your halfway there.I just dont think you will find anyone that knows how to use one will be willing to.
