No oil cooler. Invest $80 in a Turbo Timer (allows the car to run wo the key in) and you'll avoid a repair later in life (if you still have the car then). I have min eset for 30 sec on (less then 90deg) hour drives and less, and 1:15 for anything more. You can customize them just about anyway you can think. The fan running is for the radiator and engine. Mine runs for like a minute or so. I'm not so sure on the water and oil thing...I'm pretty sure its an oil cooled turbo (I cant see coolant being anywhere near it-oil and coolant dont mix all that well).

Try GReddy, HKS or APexi (quality circuit boards). Doesnt matter which you choose, stick with a brand kinda thing (ie, HKS exhaust, timer, turbos, GReddy timer, gauges and BOV). I have the GReddy and found its easy to use (like most) and installs quickly enough.
