That would make sense as it blocks a lot of the airflow.Wi also cool better with a ths one alone i imagine. Stock ic is restriction, twintercooler on stock ic will just add lag.

I appreciate your continuing to focus on this problem with me. I feel fortunate to have made the acquaintance of the VW engineer about whom I spoke in a previous message, who confirmed my assessment of the oil starvation problem. He, as I mentioned, said that he believed the problem was probably oil cavitation and the associated compromise of the pickup. The Wortec oil pan is the only option I've found to address that problem. However, it really only has a single, feeble little fence to try to capture the oil supply--no real additional baffling to limit the cavitation in the pan. Perhaps the additional oil volume will help. Maybe the finned, aluminum construction will dissipate some heat. Very iffy.I don't know that we've changed the tertiary thermostats. Must confess that I didn't know about them. I'll have my mechanic do so when he installs the oil pan. (Even as an old fart, I'm a reasonably quick driver and--I'll boast--a good instructor but have always been a piss-poor mechanic.)Would also like to replace the stock radiator with the Forge unit but can't handle the tariff at the moment.As you can tell, all very frustrating.
