Full disclosure: I have not done any such mods to mine, nor have I changed the IMSB. But if I decided to do it, that's the route I'd go.
Yes, I'm aware of the DOF from LNE. While it's good, it's not the simplest and cheapest. Plus, I'm a bit uneasy about having a pressurized external oil hose. My brother had an Audi with an external oil line. Unbeknownst to him, it ruptured and within seconds of the oil light coming on the engine was toast. The oil was pumped out that quickly.

I personally don`t like the idea of modifying the original oil lines, regardless of being external or internal, by adding a "leak" to the system. Especially by punching a hole right at the oil pump. In general, I don`t think it`s necessary.
