That's interesting Dave. I have an S2 where I removed the aux cooler and I
would agree with you. I think it made a small difference and I am running
slightly hotter than before. In retrospect, I think Audi put in the aux rad
for a reason.
I have heard it argued that a larger IC, by lowering the charge temp, will
lower engine temps. The lower intake temps propogate through the engine.
Makes sense to me.
I have not done it yet, but my idea was to remove the aux rad to make room
for a larger IC. I figured the effect of the larger IC would cancel the
effect of the aux rad removal. So far I have only gotten half way.
