There have been alot of people out there trying to solve this problem to no avail. I don't want to be negative but that's the reality of this situation.
ZM2 and I have been brain storming for years on how to completely solve this to no success, and he's tried many variations of what we came up with.

No offense taken, this is a discussion among members that want to push the platform forward!
Not to say that the heat issue is solved for me nor that my setup somehow replaced the need for Tyspeed level cooling, but there's room to reduce overall oil heat load being dumped into the coolant loop via the Mosselman thermostat (different than BM3 max cooling mode) and a more efficient turbo. Have either of you tried the Mosselman?
