Just a Mk3 thing with the small frontal area, personally I'd like to see the Oil Temps follow Coolant a bit closer but it's far from overheating the Oil at that.
No need for a T Stat with a Oil/Water cooler, you'll never see sub coolant temps with that setup.
Personally I wouldn't use one on a Mk3 with it's already sub par cooling system, adding more load to it doesn't make sense.
Yep you learn all about Trail Braking with one, if I get any of my AWD cars tuck I just pull on a couple of clicks of hand brake and they climb their way out.
Used to run into this issue on one of the mountain runs I did from time to time, Some TrueTracs run a small preload pack to overcome this for offroad use.
I used a T1 behind my 550rwhp 7M, no failures but they WON'T take high impact loads like Drag racing on sticky tires, LOVED how it drove so predictable :)
