Sourced an Audi Oil Cooler

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

But I don't run the oil exchanger , having the oil cooler provides me with a
higher degree of removing excess heat from the oil though the euro flange
and external oil cooler :)

->Okay.  That's cool.  I'm not trying to start anything.  Like

->you want to keep oil above 100'C to boil off condensation and 
->limit parasitic drag from thick, colder oil.  You guys aren't 
->seeing those kinds of temps, so it's a non-issue.
