In Response to Ed,
I don't remember what brand the cooler was but it is a flat "Mesa" style 11
or 13 pass oil cooler that measures about 11" by 11" by 11/2" and has
threaded fittings and cost about $125.  I positioned it lying horizontally
in the area directly in front of the right rear tailight and behind the
right rear wheel well after removing the sheet metal in that area.  I then
used sheet metal to close that area off from the engine compartment and
threaded the high pressure oil hoses through the sheet metal effectively
creating a "tube" with the inlet being the stock right side engine vent and
the outlet being the cutout beneath the cooler. I did the same thing on the
driver's side of the van for the Saab intercooler that feeds the turbo
diesel.  It wasn't rocket science!  I dumped the oil-water cooler as it
couldn't keep up with the oil temperatures generated by the turbo and use an
in-line oil thermostat to bypass the oil cooler at temperatures less than
180 degrees.  At some point I'll probably have a water cooled turbo built as
oil cooling it just isn't a very efficient way to go according to my turbo
man.

p.s.  It would still be nice to have somewhere to post pics for the list.
