800-900 egts at idle is fine

depends on the motor. yes 800 degrees is normal. it is relational to air fuel ratio i believe. i've read elsewhere that 1300 is max. depends what your motor can handle. DSMer (mistu eclipse, eagle talon, etc) FAQs may help provide more info as well.

An oil-cooler is going to be a MUST!.

The stock S-Coupe Turbo (with the 7.5:1 low-compression standard pistons) runs very hot indeed........(& I guess your compression may be higher than this)!.
The temperature of oil in the oil-pan often reaches 125C in ordinary running.......oil can start to break down @ 140C.

An oil-cooler will cut this back to 85/90C.......much safer!.
