Autocross runs are typically pretty short. I'm sure if you let it cool down before and after each run you will be fine on stock cooling system. If you were running multiple-lap open track events i would be concerned, but not autox.
I would think that an interest in an oil cooler would be a greater concern when thinking of road racing/auto x'ng.
If cooling is a problem, then wire up the factory fan to a switch and have it run continuously.

I would get an intercooler, definetly. Oil cooler is definetly a plus--but for now, have you though about an oil temp gauge?
You DONT want to boost for a steady 20 min. What do you think your on the Autobahn or something?

I have never been to a road track..
but my friend went to one, and he says 80 % it will over heat and burn the headgasket....
but.... in a road track, we have to be always in high RPM, which means boosting.. right?
and oil temp gauge, is it useful??

I've given my Greddy kit and D16Y8 great 15-20 minute full-throttle whomps in the hills, and water temp never gets above 215F... it's a little high up there, but not extremely hot... idling in traffic gets me 185F, so a little bit more for primarily 2nd-3rd gear stuff isn't too bad. Granted, I have the type 24 Trust intercooler, so that helps me out a lot. The Greddy kit's a good kit. Use it!
Type 24??
i am just thinking of getting the Type 31..... good enough??
OK GOOD, NOW I AM NOT GIVING UP ON MY TURBO !! HEHEHE....
well.. then sounds like clutch is not my first choice, but an intercooler
