if it were me, i would get rid of the thermostat and find one with -12 fittings.if not leave it out of the system, unless your in the artic?? even the filter mount shold have -12 fittings.
it is all about less restriction ,as Greg said you are adding a ton of restriction to the system and you really need to reduce it any place you can, even the fittings you use are important do not use brass 90 deg fittings, i'm no plumber but if i remember correctly every 90deg bend reduces flow by 25% and use a good cooler like a Earls or Setrab ( setrab makes the earls ones)
i am just in the process of putting my cooler system together today.
