The way out is through

I ran a top mount oil cooler for a bit. Seemed to work okay for cooling, but I was warned by Mike W that pumping the oil up that high might have some bad pressure side effects so I ended up moving it back down to the grill.

I do know other folks have done alright with it up there. It's just tricky to route the lines to be sure you have enough flow and don't accidentally heat the oil with the turbo.
