I'm happy you feel confident that you 'debunked' a well engineered factory component, which many manufacturers use on both F/I and N/A applications. Maybe you should let them know.

The only issue, is that the factory cooler is a bit lacking for any performance driving, such as canyoning, or even a novice on the track.
Remember, oil temp is directly related to RPM, and our version of the FA20 revs just a wee bit higher than an EJ or FA20DIT. The OEM cooler isn't able to keep up, at all, in this application.
