... you'll need a controller and temp senders too if you really want the
pump to do anything.  I've forgotten if Mike's car is an urQ or not, but 
if it is you'll have to do a little creative plumbing to get it to go in.
Ask Dave Lawson ... I think his motor ended up looking like one from a 
newer 5k/.2k ... :-)

It is fairly straightforward to run the plumbing for the WC turbo in the
urQ, just getting the shutdown cooling stuff to work that will take some
doing.  That is what I want to do with mine when I do the turbo upgrade 
though ...
