I'm not really sure what you mean, but don't fit an oil cooler unless you really need to, and if you are going to fit one, make sure you fit a thermostat to the oil cooler, overly cold oil doesn't help matters at all.

Fit an oil temp gauge, if the oil goes over 100 degrees id fit one, other than that wouldn't bother, just something else to make room for in the engine bay if you don't need it!

OEM Metro turbo had a small oil cooler, as did autos, none had a stat.

I'd say in this case a small cooler like that would never do any harm.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
