do you think that the extra coolant hose while removing the behive would be good for a S5 turbocharger?

carlrx7, i think i speak for most in that a air-to-air oil cooler is very worth while and i'm surprized that a turbo engine does not have a air-to-air oil cooler. believe it or not some believe the beehive 'cooler' is a good piece of hardware and use it, and some don't. do yourself , and engine a favor by removing the hive and get air-cooled instead of water-cooled? it's a very do-able upgrade IMO.

I think hes asking if you can use the extra nipple to feed a water cooled TC.

Rotary 7s, if you want to make an extra set of mounting brackets, let me know. I don't need a full kit; I already have the cooler and the pedestal, and the adapters and lines I can take care of myself. What kind of caps are you talking about?

caps to block off the extra water passage on the end plate and hard line in your engine bay under your heater core,

FC3s.org sells a pedistal that is ready for two 1/8 NTP fittings, It looks like a good product.


Caddy
