Poll: Aux water pump delete - How many have eliminated versus relocated? Happy with results? - FourRingBling 2015-04-24 21:35:20 (514 views)
- Removed mine, but I guess if you replace it, stop running G12!! - Milpitas2.7T 2015-04-25 16:00:19 (418 views)
  - Can you elaborate on G12 please? What does aux pump have to do with coolant type? - FourRingBling 2015-04-26 12:36:44 (399 views)
    - There's a theory that G12 (not G12+) weakens plastics over time. - Christian 2015-04-26 13:57:29 (411 views)
      - I thought our cars camewith g12+ from factory - 4ringAR 2015-04-26 15:12:41 (441 views)
        
        Most people - including dealers - put in G12 and not G12+. - Christian 2015-04-26 12:23:38 (500 views)

  - this is what i did, been running like this for about 3 years now, no battery issues - PaperToast 2015-04-25 12:26:52 (418 views)
  - i thought it was a.good idea years ago and did the same.... then my batteries started living - julex 2015-04-25 09:44:31 (432 views)

    - yeah, it would be nice. - julex 2015-04-26 09:26:53 (362 views)
  - Second this. Get the 1" brass elbow in the plumbing section. $5 - stuklr 2016-09-17 08:15:06 (455 views)
    - When I built my second allroad, I removed common failure points, because I wanted smooth sailing - DurfAR 2015-04-25 10:57:20 (439 views)
  - What turbos/software are you running for your 650whp? - Christian 2015-04-27 19:51:15 (418 views)
    - No turbos or software, just flux capacitor. - FourRingBling 2015-04-25 13:23:28 (434 views)
      - Tial 770, self tuned, and more time and money dumped into the car I am willing to admit to :)   -  julex  2015-04-26 09:26:07 (422 views)
        
        I stand corrected - Replace the flux capacitor with a Julex capacitor and you've got it covered  -  FourRingBling  2015-04-28 16:53:52 (346 views)
        
        You have dyno charts? Is that on VP109? And which dyno?   -  Christian  2015-04-26 09:50:48 (377 views)
        
        street logs, 93 octane, 36psi, 0F outside, W/M injection   -  julex  2015-04-27 04:43:00 (426 views)
        
        Interesting. That seems a little optimistic for 770s on 93. Most cars barely hit 600 on VP109.  -  Christian  2015-04-27 09:47:44 (394 views)
        
        60-130mph in flat 7s   -  julex  2015-04-27 10:02:59 (404 views)
        
        Definitely fast!  -  Christian  2015-04-27 07:06:55 (383 views)
        
        that's your opinion not knowing the build details and I respect that.  -  julex  2015-04-27 11:32:25 (376 views)
        
        Definitely an opinion for sure. And yeah it's certainly fast.  -  Christian  2015-04-27 11:47:04 (349 views)
        
        much heavier with worse aero. Logs are very very accurate, speed was calibrated to  -  julex  2015-04-27 12:26:53 (353 views)
        
        Dynos do certainly vary all over the place.   -  Christian  2015-04-27 14:25:55 (336 views)
  - thinking im going to delete mine too "while im in here" - 4ringAR 2015-04-25 01:17:41 (427 views)

  - You & me both, buddy. - Bimmer Beater 2015-04-24 23:38:04 (441 views)
  - No you are not. I have relocated mine. Better safe than sorry. - KBATTPO 2015-04-24 23:31:15 (436 views)
    - Can you relocate if you use the metal thermostat housing? - Kneale Brownson 2015-04-25 04:49:04 (437 views)
      - Yes. I have both: the relocated pump and the Aluminium thermostat housing. - KBATTPO 2015-04-25 05:16:57 (455 views)
