    I have made a similar bracket for my Corrado that sits under the driver side fender where the horns bolt to.

    I like the brackets and use of that space on the passenger side. Just got rid of my CAI/MAF housing and filter that sat over there, think ill install my oil cooler setup there too

    Anyone else who made brackets, post up some more pics

    Very good thread. I'm getting ready to do an external on my 12vT, and had a question about the sandwich plates. I picked up a non thermostat one a while ago and was wondering if ill have any issues with oil no warming up or anything like that. Or should I just junk it and get one with a thermostat?
    Jack of all trades.

    If it's gonna be driven on the street at all I'd probably lean more towards a thermostatically controlled sandwich plate

    Anyone running an external oil cooler on a mk3 24vT with 02M trans? I'm building mine at the minute and there doesn't seem to be enough room for adapter on filter housing due to front engine mount...

    Pics from mock up back in December;

    get the mocal VR6 thermo plate and u should have enough room (without the stock cooler)

    I'm thinking in your situation to tilt the sandwich plate towards the front of the car, and use 2 90 deg fittings to run to the left / right

    like snitches has above in the pics ^^^^

    Ok cool. Thanks guys. This thread just got me wondering as I haven't actually tried to fit yet.

    I'll have to block off that nipple in the block to that feeds coolant to the OE cooler too then. I'm not running an aux pump either.
