If they used an external cutoff to take the oil cooler out of the loop, I'd ask them to run it on the dyno exactly as you had it in the car.
A few other thoughts:

I will have to ask but they did mention connecting the manual oil pressure sensor to the port I created in the oil block off plate at the oil filter adapter location for my oil temp sensor.

Yes, they ran using the oil pressure sending unit behind the intake that I shipped them the motor back with. The also ran a mechanical gauge to verify the sending unit.

They requested I send the ECU back with the motor so I assumed they used my ECU but I will ask.

I'm not clear on if they modified the pick up but they did remove it to both inspect the o ring (which they said looked find and installed correctly) as well as to pull the caps on the mains.

Yes they changed the oil using rotella 15-40 which happens to be exactly what I used on my last oil change (one of their recommended break in oils). Though I did verify they used the existing oil filter I shipped the motor with.
Thanks. Will let you know if I hear back on the plumbing and ECU questions.
