Oil cooler - effectiveness?

How effective is the stock oil cooler on the 100kw 4AGE? I've heard it's not a full flow but a purge valve design, I would imagine this would be better for warming up the oil etc as it doesn't get passed through the cooler at lower RPM...
I recently bought a 100kw 4AGE "with everything" and yesterday discovered it doesn't come with the stock cooler (and the sump has been changed so can't put the stock cooler on because no drain back into the sump). The person I bought it off has an almost complete (everything except lines) full flow RX7 setup that he can sell to me (unsure of price yet), how much are these worth? And are they any better? The cooler itself looks okay (2nd hand), a few fins bent and stuff but I suppose that's expected in a 2nd hand unit. On another thread I think Grega mentioned the Earls unit is about $220 (for pickup and cooler)? How would these compare?
With a full flow setup, because all the oil has to run around the cooler, are there any problems with oil pressure etc? Will I need a heavier duty oil pump and all that?
