Hi Rob

Any chance of photos of the set up?? Wouldn't mind looking at this option when I finally get round to putting the car back together

Many thanks in advance

^^^^did this a while ago and it transformed the cooling, warms up quick, sits at 90 all day.
Started off by blocking the bypass, then when I was sure blanked off the hose connections completely.
Can't see a need for Evans with temperature control this good although it can do no harm but for you wallet.
(can only comment for S2, S1 different)

Did you blank off the engine end as well or re-route it as I did? you still need the bypass to protect the pump when the thermostat is closed.

Taking my chances on this one, it's only a circulator and I don't rev the tits off it when warming up.
There's probably better info around but I don't think the pump is suffering.
Can you shed light on this?

Oil cooler is the answer...
