in theory then yes the oil is cooking longer but as phil says thats why you let it cool down first.

but you want the heat in there as then the gases get hotter, expand more and so more gas volume to spin the turbo sooner and qiucker, cutting down on your lag

when Marcus was running it he said the turbo didnt heat up so i dont see it heating up now as theres more room between the radiator and the turbo itself. if it does have any problems then cermaic coating will help.

Maybe some one else knows but does another Jap Car have a intercooler on top of the engine block rather in front of the Rad?

Thought i saw it on one of the jap cars thanks Gord..

Would you have the room to do this Asi

My New IS V8 Build - Sparkystav - 21-02-2018

Pulsars do, MR2's as well i believe.

But i doubt thats an option as if its anything like mine, theres f all head room under the bonnet

How about below the Rad?

My New IS V8 Build - Asi - 21-02-2018

As stav said theres is no room for that. if i mount the turbo somewhere else then it would be alot of work so trying to keep the same position well going to get the manifold,downpipe,turbo,radiator cermaic coated so once the turbo and radiator is cermaic coated wont be as much heat as it would so hopefully thats solves the problem. if not then would need repostion the radiator or maybe a slimmer radiator.
