Intercooler and oil cooler on Meg 225

Dear all,
Would there any negative effect caused by a larger intercooler and oil cooler if all other hardware and software remain unchanged?

Oil cooler needs to have the right rating or the oil will never warm up.
Depending on the flow rate of the intercooler you might notice lag.

Intercooler, no.

Oil cooler, it needs a thermostatic control or the oil will run too cold, when its cold.

Intercooler, no.

Dyno runs by RS Tuning have proven that a core that doesnt flow too well caused power to drop and that a higher level of boost was required to achieve the same power.

In other words, be careful

I'm think of buying a Chinese intercooler and Mocal oil cooler coz the summer here (Hong Kong) is very hot. But I'm worried about the lag caused by a larger cooler and the low oil pressure caused by the oil cooler.

There will be minimal lag. I would recommend a branded one , the PROALLOY one is very good. I ran a Chinese cooler but I have seen a chinese cooler that was made recently and it was frighteningly bad quality.
