Turbo's can spin up over 100,000 RPM under full boost conditions, and exhaust temperature can reach over 1,000* on the hot side of a cartridge. Oil coolers should not be overlooked in this case!
Via reading and watching/working on tuners and race cars, I've picked up on a cute euphemism for turbochargers in general - Lubricant Hell.

It will be a Y with one going to the normal exhaust and it will pass are emissions. Lucky we don't have a visual modification.
