Two other questions:
1) did you use the air "tunnel" that goes from the fog light area to the cooler? Or is it just an opening there?

2) Did you have to do anything to "prime" the system, in order to prevent there from being a dry spot in the oil circulation?

Thanks for all the help man!
Yup, you can always change the external thermostat later- it's easy.

The air "tunnel" was not reused. It's an opening with a piece of sheet metal directing air to and through the OC and into the brakes.

Did not have to prime the system but make sure you fill the oil cooler with oil prior to final mounting. After a few days of driving checking your oil level and you may have to add a little of oil.

Thx for sharing!

I'll keep that in mind. I'm sure I'll have my bumper off again.
