No updates on the car have to make it through Christmas before any forward movement happens. I did get the garage cleaned up and found a good use for one of the red cars doors, new wall art ftw.

At least you didn't get permabanned like me when someone decided to do that during SoWo 2015 from Eric's phone. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Hopefully finishing up the side splitters and aero work this weekend (if all goes as planned). Since the motor and turbo won't be done for this season I'm tempted to do a few things now that would transfer over anyway. Was planning on doing the DSG cooler anyway so I'm going to grab that and get it done before the season starts.

I think GIACUser pointed me towards this, gunna give a shot.

Then I was considering an oil cooler. Planning on running an oil cooler along with an accusump setup. Figured I could split cost up and get the cooler now and do the accusump with the new motor build. Wondering if this is just garbage or if it's halfway decent. There's not much to em, figured I'd save the money and just get something cheap, thoughts?

Don't buy that. Get if you're gonna go cheap (like me) get a Mishimoto. They're not the best, but they stand behind their products. Otherwise get a setrab.

I just realized I have no idea what the cost on a setrab is :bellyroll: it might be cheaper than mishimoto for all i know. Setrab is what we run on our racecars.

No, that wasn't me.

Here is a pic of the DSG cooler I have installed. Uses Setrab unit with fan, custom pan for DSG, pump. I got mine from INA Engineering but it looks identical to this one at SSP LINK
