Default Oil cooler recommendations

Are there any recommendations, kits, mounting locations for a replacement or an auxiliary oil cooler for a 944 turbo? Any do's or don'ts? The engine has been upgraded and is in need of additional cooling.

Thanks to all that helped with my rod bearing binding issue.

BAT has tons of parts. My recommendation would be to ditch the factory cooler and lines, usa AN adapters on the console and run to a nice Mocal cooler up front. You can attach it to the front of the radiator or custom mount on the sides.

KISS set up works well, extra cooler on other side.

The KISS setup works great if you want to buy something that is all set to go right out of the box. Other options are to mount a second turbo cooler on the other side of the radiator and have lines made up or to go to a single larger cooler in front of the radiator/condensor. Old Mazda RX7 coolers are the lowest cost choice.
