Looks awesome mate! I love how the manifold is almost symmetrical which plays off the symmetry of the carbs.

Maybe I just thought about that a bit too much

would be the icing on the cake

finaly its here! the cooler is much larger than i thought i was going to get, but spoke to a chap at thinkauto and this is a simular set up they supply with some mk2 golf race cars, i no my caddy isnt going to be a track slag but he strongly advised i got for a simular set up after explainging what engine and set up im running, so here is all is 16row mocal oil cooler, 'stat sandwich plate. all alloy anodised black fixings and black air equip hose, oil cooler its self will be painted black once it cut the mounts about to make it fit where and how i want.

please check back later as there will be huge progress, its time the caddy came off the axle stands!

cheers man, got if from thinkauto.com i think they are actualy mocal and another company who do black oil coolers. it come to £194 16row cooler 235mm long, thermostatic sandwich plate, then the expensive bites where all the black joiners, 2x 90bends off the sandwich plate and 2xstraight off the cooler then 3 metres of airequip black hose, and that price is with 25% discount too if you buy a kit premade for the car is will be a hell of a lot cheaper, and can come with braded hose for and extra 30quid or so but they come pre-crimped, as i didnt no wherer im going to route my pipes i couldnt do for that option.

um thats not to bad a price i suppose but you did get discount afterall, might have to ping them an email for a price on a few bits.

Are you leaving the oe oil cooler in or taking it?

Even if I actually knew of more Caddy's, this'd still be my favourite.

just think joe, alot of times you hated the car so much you wanted to sell!!

and this caddy was spose to be my daily driver i think you have done a better job tbh!

suppose it all dpends what your after dude, i think they make the coolers when you place an order as all the different fittings they do for different cars. using the one thats on the block at the mo, its not the mk1gti big ugly block jobby.

Its a crossflow G60 phil, so thats a custom inlet plenum by the looks of it.

hees running standard(ish) injection, but you could do something similar plenum-wise but use itbs!
