    Removed aux rad

    Just deleted the aux rad.
    Dramatic increase in airflow over intake, turbo and exhaust manifold. Will definitely bring intake temps down.
    Saves approx. 10lbs from the very front of the car as well as making access to belts, etc easier.

      I think its the best mod ever... Less weight and Great access to front of engine as stated already, and there is an amazing air cooling effect at cruising speeds. Mine used to run exactly one notch below 90 on a high speed cruise (70-80mph motorway) but now its two notches below 90 in the same scenario. Stuck in traffic it sure rises as the norm but fans cut in as the norm and all is good. Its not likely to be 30 celsius ambient where I live so it should be fine in the summer also.

        I'm going to do this on my 7As then, certainly not going to get coolant temps as high as an S2. They're both in shiit state anyway - makes sense

          I dont regret deleting mine years ago!

          Mounted in a 70degree thermostat aswell (just to be sure), and NEVER had any problems with overheating, nomather the abuse of the car.
