INA,

Do you guys have installation instructions for the Stage II kit?

I could walk you through it, or NLS has a step by step install.

I saw the NLS thread on it. I was still curious if INA had something "official".

Nothing official as yet. Generally speaking (and my marketing guy is going to bitch at me for this) if you are on a forum....then we are pretty sure you know how to use a spanner and some basic tools. Some install manuals and DIY amaze me. if you dont know how to turn a wrench then dont touch your vehicle.
Installing this kit on a difficulty scale of 1 to 5 (5 being hardest) would be a 2.

[DriveVW4Life]

Cool.
I was just curious to see the creators intended installation.
I have no problem wrenching on my own.

If we get a chance a PDF will be done up

Hola!

So I read through some of the threads, and I was wondering:
- Stage 1 - What it do better for me and what do I connect to the two hose connectors if I don't have the oil cooler from stage 2?

Sorry, new to all this and trying to understand the concept a little better....

You will need an oil cooler. Stage 1 is for those who want to use an ebay core or similar....

Yes you need your own ROW cooler, Id prefer Mishimoto's cooler, probably the best one Ive seen. I have a Derale cooler and tstat. Im waiting to purchase the plate, untill a few handmade parts Im waiting for are done.

Mocal / Setrab > Mishimoto

We are machining up a batch of the oil cooler plates if anybody want LMK.

Ive got a question about the NLS install on the stage 2 cooler. Reading through it, I dont see anywhere that the inline thermostat was installed so I wanted to see how that worked. Is the oil always being cooled as there is no thermostat in that situation to stop the flow of oil under certain temperatures?

An inline thermostat was installed.

We are working on a remote oil filter w/ built in thermostat now as there is no unit available on the market currently

You've got me thinking about stg 2... now will the cooler tuck behind the condenser?... also the C2 stg 2 kit will be arriving shortly any interference problems with it?

[nothing-leaves-stock]

we put the cooler in front of the rad.
no, the turbo kit and cooler kit will work perfect together. no issues

Just create a thread in the 2.5l forum. You'll get more responses.

[thygreyt]

Thermostat is added for further quality control, and stage 3 uses a remote oil filter bracket.

where is the t-stat ;located?

For which kit Fred?

[thygreyt]

stage 2 on the oil cooler.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

stage 2 on the oil cooler.

Don't need a thermostat. Just plate lines and cooler plus half a quart more oil. Bw recorded 4 minute warm up difference between open loop and 160* tstat iirc.

But to answer your question I believe their thermostat is inline between the cooler and plate.

[INA]

Don't need a thermostat

You will always need a thermostat. ALWAYS.
The OEM heat exchanger is thermostatically controlled within the coolant loop. Removing that means you depend on your Oil Cooler Core to regulate your Oil Tempertaure. Too small of a core , and your oil will never cool. Too large of a core and your oil will never heat up properly. The inline thermostat is placed between the adapter plate & the oil cooler core.

Large Core + inline thermostat = Solution.

Anyone that states otherwise is spreading false information.
