Remote Oil Filter

Remote Oil Filter
I was thinking about installing a remote oil filter in my 986 to give better access, larger filter and a convenient taping point for an oil P and T sensor to log.
I was thinking about the TUNE RS unit.

Any disadvantages I should know about?
Can anyone send pics of how the lines are run.
Does the oil pump have sufficient pressure (head) to pump the oil the additional vertical distance to the remote filter without any material issues?
I already have a 2Qt deep sump/baffles and was going to log Oil P and T before making any decisions on an Accusump or additional cooler.

This was the original oil setup on TuneRS Build #001. But I eventually removed the Accusump because of plumbing leaks, crappy wiring, faulty sending units, unreliable pressure sensors, and leaking internal diaphragms. All the fast SPB guys have ditched the Accusump...and saved nearly 25 pounds. The extra filter in the trunk is a nice addition (and easy to access) but be warned, when removing the spin-on WIX filter be sure to also remove the rubber O-ring that tends to stay behind and hide up in the mounting base. If you spin on a new filter without removing the old O-ring, you'll blow oil from here to COTA. Ask me how I know.

I have a similar trunk mounted oil filter setup. Removed the Accusump just like PLN. I like the convenience of the trunk mount and the larger filter.
