Just make sure you aren't over cooling -- beating on it much before 170* F is a bit on the cold side, but hovering right around 180* - 200* is probably perfect in terms of lubing and also keeping the ECU and valvetrain happy.
Yes thats definitely worth mentioning, too cold is bad. It's annoying when its colder out because it takes longer to warm up, and I don't boost at all or rev over 4k rpm's if the oil is < 160F, but I don't drive it at all during winter so its only a minor annoyance in spring/fall. Once it gets to summer temps here I will be glad I have the extra cooling.
