With your setup do you believe I could maintain oil temps and maintain speeds in excess of 180+ for any extended time?

I rutinely run at the stock top speed of 165 but would like to get more. From what I have a read a single turbo set up would give me a better top end punch that I'm looking for but temp issues are my main concern at the moment.

what do you think?
if you get a larger oil cooler you should be fine..
I don't know if you would hit speeds of 180mph.. but I know on the long straights in mexico i would hit 155-165 regularly, and I wouldn't hit over 220°, and averaged 215° at those speeds
