You could flush the cooler out really good, buy a b&m(any brand) oil cooler, or spend that 600 on a full flow oil cooler circuit.

Last one would be the best idea.

I vote full flow thermostatically controlled circuit. I'm personally about 335 in, with a remote filter mount, block adapter, and thermostat, but I went with Canton (billet aluminum) and Mocal

Some good ideas here.

Furthermore, anyone who is trying to charge $600 for the stock cooler from Toyota is full of shit. According to this, sale price should be ~$366. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/part.aspx?S=15710

^^^ Do this. My setup in the end was about $550 for it.

Not like the cooler is an issue since it's after the filter and dumps into the pan... (BHG yes as it could be contaminated with water, easy enough to flush though)
