Not to sound too much like a dummy, but what are the benefits of an oil cooler besides keeping the oil at a lower temp? Nice work BTW. 
Oh yeah, can you post temps and pessures in standard measurements for the metrically challenged so I can get a better idea of the differences between the before and after? Sorry to be such a PITA.

It's just a standard 14 row cooler, with a standard ebay adapter, with a greddy sandwitch insert fab a little bit to make it fit. And some SS lines.... so here comes the compele thing.... So no name brand.

I'v got 3 defferent sets of gauges, and the results are pretty much same.
last time on track the oil temp went up to 110C', so I think getting an oil cooler would be better for it, just for reduce the temp.
and I just got an AP2 bumper, will wash my baby after the bumper swap soon.
and here's a pic I took a while ago, with my final gauge setup. the car not fully warmed up, the temperatures supposed be a little higher.
and I will soon take some pix of now
