Remote oil cooler location

[lmcchesney]

I am in the process of getting the parts together for a remote oil cooler. I was following the PP Tech article for the placement under the right side of the trunk with a puller fan. Brad brought out his experience that others with that location did not fair well. The location is still in the heat envolope with the engine, heat exchangers next to the cooler. His suggestion was to place the cooler up front like a 916. So I crawled back under the car looking at the rocker panels for plumbing the oil lines and noted a huge space in the forward aspect of the rear wheel well. The space extends about 2 1/2 feet in front of the wheel. It is seperated from the engine compartment, has easy access to plumb the cooler there. Cold air can be drawn up from the underside of the chasis. Has anyone placed the cooler in this location? If so what was the results? I realize I will need to place a splash guard between the cooler and the wheel. The location for the remote filter and mechanical thermostats would be in the undersurface of the trunk as in the tech. article.
Thanks,
