Aftermarket on engine oil coolers

Hi,

Has anyone used one of the new aftermarket on-engine oil coolers that are available now. Are they as good as an OEM, are they better than a 20 year old original?

Thanks,

Pat

I beleive that the most prevlent reasons that the guy like to use the Porsche stuff are these:
1. They work
2. They fit
3. Some sort of snob appeal.
Reasons 1&2 are good enough to use the original types.
I have a car with an aftermarket one. Turbotrol is the name.

I don't think that it works correctly but that doesn't seem to be the problem with the cooler. It's probably the valve at the rear wheel well. I believe that its stuck open. I have replaced failed factory valves. From what I can remember the last one was stuck shut.

Good luck,

Thanks for the input, but I'm talking about the aftermarket coolers that bolt directly to the engine. They are sold by a number of the aftermarket porsche parts suppliers.
