Truthfully, I wouldn't. I ran a "proper" Mocal plate and cooler for a while, and in daily-driver mode it was rubbish. The oil took half of eternity to get up to 160° and never really got above that on my normal commute.

A few months ago I removed said oil cooler and installed the stock 1.8 cooler onto my engine. Absolutely wonderful! In the morning, the oil comes up to temp much faster than it did even when stock, and tends to stabilize around 210-220°, which is just about perfect.
