Anybody else tried this mod yet on their ML63?

After a few weeks driving here are my observations:

1. Engine oil reaches operating much faster, guessing in half the previous time
2. Ambient engine temperature is much less when parked
3. Feels like there is more torque below 3k rpm, not a huge difference though
4. Transmission holds gears much longer under WOT, almost at redline
5. No CEL

From what I've read the ECU/TCU will still be adapting to this mod. As I have driven less than 500km's in the last few weeks I may see further changes in future.

Overall I'm happy with this mod, however subtle the changes actually are, I feel as though having the correct oil pressure at all times will be beneficial to the engine components. I also feel the cooler ambient engine temp (when parked) will be good for the seals/plastics in the long term.

i've been following that thread closely and I will be unplugging the solenoid on my ML. Haven't done it yet, just been watching the thread for updates but I haven't seen any downsides to it.
