I'm looking forward to seeing how zsapphire7's Evolution Racewerk's Competition coolers do. Otherwise, Stett Stg 2 sounds like a good alternative. Ouch at my expensive mod mistake.
I don't doubt your story, but you do have PROceed, and it looks like with the OEM oil cooler, you weren't over heating when you ran stock boost. However, you were overheating when you ran with more boost. Adding the AR oil cooler, IMHO, won't help you keep down the oil temps, if your cranking up the boost. You can try stett, or evolution racewerks, but I doubt they'd do a dam thing, if you turn up the boost in an auto. just my opinion.
