This guide is great @
JBezgus! Much easier than attempting to Google translate the JDM instructions.
Just finished my install and wanted to add my notes to the hive mind here:

The “S” bracket bolt order needed to be different than the "U" bracket bolt order in order to match your S bracket picture and the Greddy JDM picture, I went with:
Bolt
Bracket
Duct
Washer
Cooler
Lock washer
Nut

Other Install notes:
I made a trip to home depot for *high temp* electrical tape to re-wrap the wires after splitting off the ambient temp probe from the stock loom. I used 3M Super 88 electrical tape, because I know it works... I’ve had cheap electrical tape turn to goo in high temp applications in the past. Definitely worth the extra dollar or two.
I ended up not thinking I needed the washer neck relocation bracket, after I clocked the hose to filter connections.
There was enough extra loom for the oil hose that I was able to trim some off of the main runs and add it to a section of the hose in the engine bay which looked like it could potentially rub on the metal fitting of the AC hardline. I was still able to cover the runs in front of the radiator past the duct with the loom as well. I'll see about uploading a picture of this.
The double zip tie spacing technique worked out great.
I went with 2-3 wraps of teflon tape on all fittings. No leaks or weeping at all after doing several laps of my test loop run.
It takes roughly twice as long to come up to temp (in September California ~65 degree F ambient weather) and held rock solid at a hair over the 190 F line on the stock dash gauge.
I added a little more than 1L of new oil along with a FRAM XG4386 filter and the dipstick was indicating just a tiny bit lower after my test run. I’d estimate 1.2L of additional oil to get to the same spot on the dipstick. (as measured 5 minutes after shutdown both times)
I had one question come up during the install and CSG was very quick to respond to it. Great service, fast shipping, I'm a happy customer.
