After bleeding the coolant system the oil/water temps improved. This is a log from yesterday during a timeattack competition. All previous runs have been 100% stock apart from the coolers and IC.

On this log though:
- An Akrapovic catted downpipe has been added
- Stage 2 map BM3!!
- Ambient is up slightly

Pushing really hard, oil now peaks at 125. Perfect.
Very tempted to get the do88 - my only hesitation is re the weight (~13kg). Do you notice any negative effects from the extra weight at all (where's it's +10kg right on the nose compared to stock)?
