VW oil pressure and HP1 filters

I have the 'ACRO' oil cooler bypass and a remote filter on my engine. Does anyone know whether the filter thus runs at a regulated pressure or is it a full pressure from the pump. I recall that some pump/filter conversions need the 150-ish psi rated HP1 filter canister.

I've also seen a nifty filter assembly that bolts where the oil cooler goes on the VW. Does anyone know if they are still available? It would be lighter than my kit and allow shorter oil lines.

150psi oil pressure!

In a VW?

There'd be no power left to drive a prop!

It seems that you can get 150psi before the relief valves if the filter comes straight off of the pump like so many car conversion kits do. I'm not sure if the other filters that run from the old cooler area are at lower pressure.
