Touring w/ hp... what should I do about oil temps...?

I've seen oil cooler fans... and just outright buying the pass. side one. I'm looking for alternatives... I've seen the less expensive add on oilcoolers that summit and jegs sell that use I believe AN fittings. This I could theoretically stick inbetween the engine and the turbo on the oil line and run it to the unused air hole to cool the oil before it gets to the turbine...
thoughts?

Fans are not going to do squat for overall oil temps.

Cheapest thing is to be patient and buy the pass. oil cooler and lines from a wrecked R1. I bought both coolers, brackets, ducts and all the oil lines for about $200 if I remember correctly. Easy to install now that I have done it once as well.
