urq: Elimination of aux. radiator advice sought



Say one would want to spite the Audi gods and remove the auxiliary radiator
on a urq.  In addition, say one would also like to replace the existing
radiator with a larger capacity unit.  I’ve heard that a late model 5k/5kt
all metal radiator will fit in a urq if it is installed at an angle.

Has anyone been defiant and done this?  How is overall cooling under race
track conditions?  Oh, I forgot to mention that this car might see 50
minute sessions on a race track, has a k24 turbo, and an intercooler that
is 2 times the stock size and an aftermarket oil cooler.

Would it be better just to eliminate the aux. radiator and install a larger
oil cooler?

Any and all sound advice is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
