| Re: Oil coolers If you want a faster 1.4, are you prepared to strip out lumps of the interior, cos the best and cheapest way of making them faster is to make them lighter. |

| Re: Oil coolers lightening would be best as it really would cost a lot for negligible increases in performance from the engine. considered a 1.8t conversion if your attached to the car? otherwise no point in oil cooler but lightened flywheel decent plugs and leads, tank of redex and a good service will provide similar levels of increase.
