Hmm, I just don't buy that the water and oil temps are as independent as you're making, expecially considering oil temps are almost double what they should be, and the water temp hasn't budged a bit?  You've got oil and water all moving around in the same aluminum head, water and oil temps are quite correlated, you add more cooling capacity to either oil or water, and both temps reflect the increase.  Something's not adding up here for me, I've never seen this IME.

Also, there is no need for a fan on a properly installed oil cooler in any Audi application I've ever seen, especially in a 4kq turbo conversion with no AC.  I know what oil cooler Marc is running (same one I am), it should be more than sufficient to keep his oil temps under 250F.
