    you can get a sandwich plate that has a thermostat in it so it won't open and circulate through your cooler until you're up to temperature👍

    Holy hell green grass, I miss that time of year 😂 if you haven't already you should do a video running through your charge piping/intercooler setup. So far you're the only feller I trust with good content on these cars

      Hahah that green grass is actually from today, winter on the west coast lasts maybe 2 weeks 😂 - I definitely will try to do a video about it soon, lots of people have asked!

    • @CrosstownExpress

      @ThatGuyTy the east coast is being temperamental. I'm looking at a little snow and a bunch of dead grass. And sweet man, I know a lot of people say VW intakes are more than sufficient for a lot of builds but someone threw a ratty half assed "cold air" intake on mine before I got it. Figured it'd be cool to do something other than find another stock air box for it

    • @ThatGuyTyy
      @ThatGuyTyy  2 года назад

      Yeah the stock air box is good, as much as I am beating a dead horse theirs tons of data, until you are on a larger turbo you don’t get any benefit other than sound - however mine does pickup directly from the fog light so who’s to say mine doesn’t actually make a difference with IAT’s!

    • @CrosstownExpress
      @CrosstownExpress 2 года назад +1

      @ThatGuyTy definitely some good points made about the stock one. But I do plan on a bigger turbo at somepoint when the budget allows, I'm sure it could get me some style points for the time being

    • @ThatGuyTyy
      @ThatGuyTyy  2 года назад +1

      Yeah 100% if that’s the plan make a good one once and not have to do it again would be the move - I honestly would wrap it once it gets close enough to the turbo, and then leave it bare metal when it dives into the fender for more cooling - stainless or aluminum would be the way

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm in Calgary and with the 2 weeks of -40C weather, for me I'd be concerned that the TDI wouldn't warm up at all. It's hard to keep warm if you have to stop at a light in those temps.

    • @ThatGuyTyy
      @ThatGuyTyy  2 года назад +1

      Yeah especially if you are also EGR deleted for managing coolant temps - definitely not something I would run year round at that temperature

      @6n2_tim 11 месяцев назад

      i know this comment is a year late but the darkside kits are thermostatic so the cooler won’t be in use unless the oil temp is above 80c

    • @ThatGuyTyy
      @ThatGuyTyy  11 месяцев назад

      @6n2_tim you can get a non thermostatic version! This one is non thermostatic

    Have you considered adding a thermostat to the oil cooler?? That much “extra” time in warm up I’m sure is contributing to fuel dilution…. Thermostat would help. They make in line units.

    • @Scoots1994

      Darkside offer a thermostat in the sandwich plate already. I guess he didn't opt for it.

    I installed one oil cooler this year on my TDI and on same road, full throttle I had -17ºC (10kms max load test) on normal usage Its hard to pass 75ºC since I removed the original circuit, so it cools a lot faster(smaller oil circuit)

      I did some looking and lots of the cheap Amazon one are the right size and have the right adapters I believe.
      How’s your oil pressure? Did you notice a drop at all with the extra capacity? I’m interested in adding a bigger cat filter.

      For swirls you can just do a tune and then unplug them is the easiest way honestly, messing around with pulling the manifold off and doing all that nonsense isn’t really worth it
