If it's working fine and not leaking, and there are no vulnerable lines running under the car, and you don't drive it in the colder months, nah, I wouldn't necessarily recommend removing it if it's not hurting anything and the oil temp always gets up to ~190F reasonably quickly.

Do you track the car? Personally, if I turbo'd mine, I'd first see what the oil temps did at the track without a cooler first, and if they stabilized comfortably below 300F then I probably wouldn't bother with one. Above 285F I'd definitely go to 40 or 50 weight though.
