Has anyone here bypassed the stock oil cooler?
If so, what effects did it have, if any, on either oil or coolant temps?
I've had that damn thing fail a couple times and it's a huge PITA. If I could cap those lines or connect them to bypass the stock cooler, I'd like to do so and remove that entire thing in favor of an external cooler.

I replaced the 1.8T oil cooler with the cooler from a 2.7T.
Oil warms up almost identical to the coolant, which is really beneficial, and peak temps even at the track have only been around 220.
