Default Cooling upgrades

Whilst I'm having a custom turbo mani built for me at the moment, I'm wrapping up all the parts that I need for the turbo kit install.

Looks like I have to use the oil filter relocator kit due to the manifold design. What do people do here, do they retain the stock oil cooler or use an external air-to-oil cooler? Is this required or not needed as I'm not looking to track the car and currently staying with the bone stock block shooting for around 400+whp but may build the block later for over 600whp+.

Also would a radiator upgrade be required or would the stocker do the job?

It looks like a Canton Racing, same one I use. The only problem is that it does not come in 20mm threads which is what our filters are. It uses 3/4" threads, not a big deal you just can't use OEM filters.

It's not necessary but it may be a good idea (think of it like insurance). A lot depends on your local climate and how you use your car. For example I live in Houston and drive my car to work some days. I upgraded mine (I
