Better Cooling ....Problem solved

Post by HeadsShot » Wed Aug 20, 2008 7:58 pm

So i was working on this Mod awhile... just finished up and installed. Has drainage included. For the nuts and bolts goto www.RS6.com and look for hood vent topics. i have detailed pics there. Thought i'd share the final result with all. Heat tests to follow but all looks really good right now.. 40'/50' cooler on engine guage on first drive. Detailed testing when i get back onshore. The lip spoilers are mine also.

Dude, most of us live in England - cooling is much less of a problem than it is in California!

Definitely not true, cooling is an issue with all RS6's driven hard.
