It equated to half the price of the oil cooler so jumped straight on the cioler while i have those type of funds free. Water temp does indeed spike when boosting hard and then take a fair while to settle which is why this assumption has been made.
I've never known oil temperatures be a huge problem on HDis - do you even know what oil temperature you're getting to? Because of the fact they're exchanged with the water system - you usually get high water temperature also... The HDis have a pretty over-specced cooling system as stock anyway.
What oil are you using?
Deffinatley agree with a gauge is needed but while the funds are there i may aswell get the cooler. Being thermostatic it can never be a bad move.
Next two things are temp and pressure gauge so i can monitor A. Its deffo working and B. If i spring a leak and drop pressure
