what about the turbo oil return? Check thats clear.... If its not, the oil could pool in the bearing housing, cook it, force it past the seals etc .... Might be worth checking the turbo feed hose as well for the same reasons

are you sure there isn't jsut a bad earth and is shorting out the oil temp and water temp?????
does it sit at a normal temp, then just flick to full (hot) ???
or does it climb gradually?

if it was my car, i'd be asking why OIL would get that hot that fast????
water is heated up by engine (i.e. HG), and heats up quite quick, but oil??
what can cause oil to heat up so fast???
even on track i cant get me oil to heat up that fast

Alot of Gtir temp gauges sit at 1/2 and never move, so they may not be that accurate.

Got a guide here http://www.gtirworkshopmanual.com/default.aspx?v=403 so will do that tomorrow and have everything crossed and touch as much wood as possible
All the earths seem fine too, had a look around and cant see any that are loose or anything

Get it pressure checked and inspect the block as best you can while its still in the car ... same thing happened to my cossie lol ,went through it all .headgaskets,porous head ,pourous remote oil filter exchanger housing .in the end it was cracked block as when warm crack opened up ,ended up me cracking two out of 4 cylinder bores
take the head off and look very carefully
defo sounds very similar probs to what i had
hope you get it sorted mate ,usually its drive train related probs with the pulsars lol
good luck
