Yup the 1.8t are 4-cyl engines :)

I'm running a Mocal one, with standard hoses (not braided).It's extra cash but if you are going BT and want to track it then everything you can do to keep the engine cool helps.

Mine is fitted behind/inside the drivers-side wheel arch, just were the standard SMIC used to sit - the front fogs are removes to allow cool air in and for next summer i'mm make up some ducting for incoming air & cut slots in the wheel-arch-liner to allow the hot air out :)

Mocal are a tried and tested cooler. I've used them on several of my cars in the past.

Just to add, Scott at USRT is a really helpful guy and usually marks up the items at a lower value on package customs label, so you should pay less tax over here.

I've had a couple of sets of injectors from them. Both times they have been prompt with email replies and shipping.
Scott is a forum avertiser on vwvortex.com if you want to see what others think of him.

I had a few questions about my purchases at the time so I emailed him.

He will need a telephone number for the customs stuff. I think you can add it in the commments section via paypal. No harm in sending an email tho just to check.

thanks bill but not cheap here in the uk :help:

given they're made in belguim, euro to sterling is pretty static, its the $$ which is a shafted currency at the mo, i cant see how catcams can be less money in the US, or are you talking US made cams?
