As far as I know the factory oil cooler doesn't have a thermostat.
Putting a bigger cooler (more efficient) will definitely drop the temperature which is a good thing when the car is used in a racetrack.
In all other situations (motorway) I am sure the oil temp will be quite low, especially in countries that it's not so hot.
Adding here the oil pressure drop, I think this upgrade will create more problems than it will solve.
So I believe it's a good upgrade if you are using the car only for trackdays and nothing else.
