cooler on Porsche 928 3 speed 722.00?

[jp928]

On the 928 installation the tranny cooler is up front in radiator side tank, while box is in the rear , so the cooler hoses are pretty long. One guy has installed a rear mounted cooler with much shorter hoses, and direct in/out connections instead of banjo bolts. he reports it feels more responsive and crisp than before, and connects this to better oil flow through the cooler connections.
Anybody have any comments on the impact of reducing restriction of cooler pipes on operation of the box please? I tend to think its more to do with reducing the length of the hoses than the restrictions of the banjos, but I am interested in any others experiences here....
TIA,
