Advice for simple mods

Pchelka01 · 04-29-2012, 02:03 PM

Looking at a couple of mods, just looking for advice

looking to either buy a turbo timer and hook up the after run pump to that, or would it just be easier to just get a coolant sensor that turns it on at 93 C?

Also wanting to install a catch can, any preferences?

thanks

Catch can isn't important or worth it.
Turbo timers are for people without an after run pump (we have that)
Just buy the updated thermo switch from any dealer (shop around) and use that.
If you need a catch can, you should probably just change turboes :/
Something I need to do. lol

H Sport sway bars. Before I put on a set these, the allroad had more body roll then a old delivery truck.

i recently ordered and installed the lower temp thermo switch for the after run pump and noticed nothing changed when i shut the car off even after it reached 225 , and the fan does not work either, i than tried disconnecting the thermo switch and connected the wires that come to the switch to the car battery and nothing happened, could not hear anything, and the fan did not run,
Where do i start? Checked all the fuses left of driver's side, and one other fuse under steering wheel, also i knoticed that one of my relays was missing and did not know if the slot was empty on purpose or the previous owner had removed it, it was slot # 3 or 4, can't remember for sure. (still dont have the bently manual)
