Detrimental effects of dry center turbo

I have an oil cooled To4B only , i read somewhere that the stock oil cooler wont be sufficient to cool the oil temperature.. what are the steps i need to do to overcome any problem in the future? and what will happen if i dont change anything?

I would install an oil temp gauge before making any changes. Be sure the sensor is in the flow of the oil, and not at a dead end. See what the temps are and then make a decision regarding any upgrades. You can use the gauge to see how much any changes you do make have helped, too.

You can get a sensor block that goes under the oil filter to mount the sensor.
