When is an oil cooler necessary?

I'm sort of confused as to whether to get the oil cooler kit now or wait until later. I already have the factory oil cooler intact. When would it be wise to purchase the AR Design oil cooler kit?

I plan on the following mods in the comings weeks.

Intake (Stett CIA Version 2)
Intercooler (ETS 5inch)
Dp's (Ar design catless)
chargepipe (Stett, either DV or synapse BOV, still deciding)
Oil Catch Can (AR Design)
Procede V5

Late Spring/Early Summer - AWD upgraded turbos

Thanks!

1) if you track your car (and by track I don't mean drag strip)
2) if you constantly see 260+F temps
3) if you track your car, oh wait I said that above

Oh, haha, no i don't track or goto the dragstrip at all. Needle always stays a few notches under/before the middle.

It can get hot here in the Summer months, mainly Early July to late August. But not all year round.

check out the cp-e intercooler/oil cooler combo. Not much more than just an intercooler and you get a second oil cooler. I haven't tracked my car since I got it but I've heard good reviews and will certainly write a review once I have.
