looks to me as printed tags and heat shrink clear sleeves, saw it at work IT guys with a little portable printer on heat shrink sleeves,

Correct it is printed hestshrink with clear over
Your IT guys must be pretty high end if they use Raychem

I am also using the alloy elbow from the RS3 / TT-RS - this includes provision for a Bosch TMAP sensor to replace the old PTC sensor that Motronic uses on the intake manifold. These sensors have better resolution than the OEM sensor and are cheaper and commercially available. The RS3/TT-RS as stock use an e-bypass valve which is cast into the intake elbow, but it is too small for the desired air mass as well as being in an awkward place to plumb in as I have AC/Climate.
So I chopped it off and welded the hole up. The position still needs a slight tweak but will marry up nicely to the Wagner intercooler.

Finally someone makes use of that throttle body inlet. I thought I was going to be the only one!
Nice catch with using the Manual one as opposed to DSG as DSG is much tighter. Excellent work as always!
still waiting on that email btw

Actually I looked at the RS3 part after you mentioned it a while back, its just taken me an age to get anything done on the car.
I thought it would be a bit of an easier install actually, but the e-bypass valve made it a bit difficult so I cut it off & welded the elbow up. Also the angle isn't quite right for the Wagner cooler, but easily corrected with the machined adapter. E-mail incoming

I was going to do that, then I remembered I'd not updated my thread for even longer, so I thought I'd keep my head down

Careful here
Did you empty out the thermostat portion?
Oil goes from the engine into the thermostat portion , it is cooled and then returns to the thermostat portion where it is then filtered and goes into the engine.
Blanking those 2 I am not sure how that would perform.

If you want I could send you a 7A housing which does not have the oil cooler portion (perfect for the Mocal sandwhich plate) or use what I used which is off the 2.5 TDI A6
it mounts the oil filter horizontally as opposed to vertically so creates some decent room for that oil return line.
