There are quite a few variations exhibited by the posters here. I used a B&B, other have used Setrab, Mocal and Ruf. It's been my experience that a single B&B sealed at the edges so all of the air goes through the cooler w/o any tub modification is fine even on 100&degF track days even w/ a 3.8RS engine. As has been mentioned the tstat never stays fully open so engine oil temps stay ~85&degC at all times.

The caveat is that in really heavy stop and go traffic on a 100&degF day a fender mount w/ fan would be a real asset.

A short while ago there was a Ruf chin spoiler/oilcooler for sale over on Rennlist, it is a really slick setup.

It's my feeling that there is very little that can effectively be done to protect these things in a front mount position except to drive carefully.
