[Vwdiesel] Ways of cooling an AAZ

[Bryan Belman]

2 inches is good, 2.5 inches is better.
do you have an oil temp guage?
Where do you have the sensor located?

Remember, after hooking up your oil cooler, you will most likely need to add 
1/2 liter of oil as it takes some of you oil capacity away.

I also purchased a 180 degree F. oil flow valve, that only allows the oil to 
flow to the oil cooler when the oil heats up, allowing the engine to heat up as 
quickly as possible.  If you feel you motor is not heating up fast enough, I 
will be glad to send you the link on where I got this device from E-bay.
keep us posted.

Thanks Doyt,

As an update, I found that exhaust was a bit too thin, so I took it to the
expert, he told me that the turbo has a blocked valve, so the turbo is been
done at this time, and then we´ll have to change part of the exhaust.
Meanwhile I´ll connect the oil cooler, using the already installed sandwich.
I´ll take a look in the intake as you suggested.

Does anyone have any suggestion of which type/size of exhaust to use? I was
thinking about 2".


Thanks,
Pablo
