so the rs's dont have this cooler from standard correct?
this would explain the differences between water pumps?

just wanted to make sure as it might be worthwhile for me to chuck a sandwich plate in to make life easier later if i need an oil cooler down the track.

Yup, RS has an oil cooler from factory. All turbo manuals and some turbo autos got them.

hmmmm mine musthv been removed.
i have 2 feeds out of the water pump rather then 3 ... but one is spare because im getting rid of the to tank.

so i could either use that feed or i could run the external cooler hmm would external aftermarket be to much?
or just use a small core ?

ive never dealt with oil coolers :lolz:
