This morning i tried removing the plastic grille work in the lower
bumper area to see if it would improve my oil temps.

BIG improvement.  My temps are back down to what they were when I had
the oil cooler mounted up high behind the grille (pre EFI)which is where
my intercooler sits now.  I drove pretty hard into work (played with an
A6 for a while and couldn't seem to stay out of the triple digits) but
also had plenty of light throttle cruising like what was causing the
problem before.  Temps never got over 130c!

Here's the log of the trip (takes a while to load):
