The 16v console was them but it's not compatible with the m103 block, maybe a console from a m104 might do the job. However so far I haven't seen very high oil temp in this engine, usually it stays just below 100C degs and climbs to 110 when I drive it very hard.

I see about the same oil temps...that's why I feel the stock pump/delivery system will handle ( and in my case does ) a twin turbo install.

The M103 is an over engineered low RPM power band engine and if maintained doesn't exhibit problems with fluid flow and cooling.
