You can add the passenger side OEM cooler and lines -- they are for sale from time-to-time in the classifieds.
Other than that, the best way is to just install an entirely new aftermarket oil cooler system. You can run a search using my username and "oil cooler", you will get several threads which explain your options and what you need.

I have stock coolers but for the last week have been running on one while it gets different fittings on. I have noticed a 15-20 degree hike in temps on the street while getting on it, and thats with relatively cool weather. With the stock duals, they seem to be great in keeping the temps in check. I'll have to look at logs but seemed to do well on the track too meaning I wasn't concerned about cooking anything.

I DO think that if you have the time and can find a good used set, that adding a second stock cooler is a good use of money. Any of the aftermarket oil cooler kits are a waste of money if you are not tracking the car.
Thanks for the clarification, gentlemen...

I think autocrossing in hot areas could merit the use of aftermarket setups... i know the surface track temps at our local club reach well over 115F during the 3 summer months. heck, the weather gets to 110 sometimes out here. Hot weather means I am going to be overly paranoid.

Perfectly adequate? Upgraded coolers a waste of time and money? I've gotta disagree. A single stock cooler can't keep up when it's really hot outside.
