I have the 1M aux. radiator parts on order.

Sorry for the jack above!
I think the radiator, additional oil coolers, larger fan ect would be critical, particularly if you remove the heater box. Running the heat wide open really does drop the oil temp a good bit.
I do this sometimes if I push the car hard on the way home from work, knowing that Im gonna park the car and trying to keep the hot oil from sitting in the turbo.
The last mile or so I run the heat wide open and keep rpm below 2,500. That and air movement of going 55mph will drop a good 10 degrees off the oil temp within a couple of miles.
