You're kidding, right?
Lets break this down. Turbos make lots of heat. Right? Now where does that heat go? It doesnt just "go away". It heats up everything under hood, and keeping coolant and oil temps in check with that much underhood heat is tough - its tough enough without a turbo on a 200hp 4-cyl. Not to mention all the other things under the hood. Same with brakes - lots of heat cooks everything inside the wheel. Balljoints, bushings, abs wires/sensors, etc.
If all you have is a tiny cooler sitting on the block, it does nothing but heat up the oil on track.
