Thanks I've been under the car for the last 3 day trying to see where or if one could be installed. I've pretty much came to the same conclusion. Is there any difference in the 996/997 and the Boxster S. engine mounted heat exchanger cooler.

I swapped out my Muffler for a Borla Sport exhaust.

I'm thinking there might be room on both sides near the cats for a
oil cooler and a tranny cooler. I've considered two smaller ones
that air cooled with "PC" fans.

I might delete the cats and that might free up some space as well

There might be some space now between the tranny and the exhaust tips.

Don't really love any of that space due to proximity to the exhaust and the
residual heat from that area. It does keep oil lines to a minimum

I've also considered some modification to a rear decklid mount or fixed spoiler with an oil cooler built in, but the plumbing gets longer and trickier.

The original base oil cooler is about 1/2 the size of the "S" engine cooler:



The larger oil cooler is one of the best $200 you can spend as it make a major difference in oil temps as well as life. The larger cooler will just clear the intake manifold on 986's, but not all of the 987's.

I am using the S model part #99610702557, is the 996/997 model larger part #99710702500
