Thanks again for sharing these details - very helpful!

Since you spent some time routing hoses to/from/around the adapter, maybe you can help me with a question. Due to space limitations above the oil filter (I have LT headers), how far away from the oil cooler adapter (no thermostat) do you think I would have to place the separate high flow thermostat? That thermostat isn't a low-profile piece. I would want to connect the thermostat as closely to the adapter as possible, but it seems space is very limited.

I'm also concerned about the additional connections (more chances for failure) associated with a separate adapter + thermostat versus the one-piece adapter/thermostat.
