Can the transmission fluid cooler in a radiator be used for an oil cooler.?

i have a 1993 mitsubishi eclipse gsx that was an automatic but i converted it to a manual with a 1990 gsx that i bought just for the transmission and other random parts. the automatic transmission had a intake and outlet line on the radiator for the cooling of the transmission fluid. i want to take the oil that comes out of the turbo and run it threw the radiator before it goes into the oil pan. i know that with small 4 cylinder engines you need to keep the oil from boiling so that's why im wanting to use the radiator as a double oil cooler so it has 2 times the amount of cooling power to keep the oil cold without adding another oil cooler to my car for the stock look. is this possible without hurting the engine or turbo. if so how would i get the radiator ready for the oil and the oil lines.Can the transmission fluid cooler in a radiator be used for an oil cooler.?
You can't take the cooling of the oil from the trany. The transmission is on huge hydraulic pump and you can very well run the risk of burning it up.Can the transmission fluid cooler in a radiator be used for an oil cooler.?
yes, you can run the oil where the tranny lines are
