If your water temps are rising then you've not got enough base line cooling to start with. Go back to the drawing board & start again time. I went through several iterations on my Elise before I nailed it but once right it worked much better than other people using radiator type oil coolers.

EDIT: Also worth mentioning I found that with FI the laminova absolutely hammered the main radiator. For my application I used an 90mm aux oil cooler for the turbo oil feed (IIRC post-turbo), this seemed to have a dramatic impact on oil temp runaway with a lower load on the cooling system.
