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.

Well, I don't log my own data, but of the logs I have seen on here, that statement doesn't seem entirely true. Granted, the W2O cooler is not as efficient at cooling as a larger A2O cooler, but suggesting that a 9.5% increase in redline makes an oil cooler designed to handle the extra heat generated from a turbo application somehow unable to manage the heat generated by the naturally aspirated version of the same motor seems a little unrealistic.
