I've got two projects on the horizon prior to the start of the 2018 Track season. First, increase the the capacity and efficiency of engine oil cooling and secondly, to do the same for the DSG fluid cooling.
For the engine oil, I've narrowed my search to several different makes on a thermostat that fully opens at or around 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit. 180 degrees oil temp appears to be the recommended norm operating temp but let me know if you disagree.
As for the DSG fluid operating temp, I can't seem to find a reliable source that speaks on the subject. I have several choices on when a remote thermostat opens (ie. 145F, 165F, 185F, 215F, etc.) so I need to find a solution that allows the fluid to warm up to the ideal operating temp just prior to opening. Anyone know what the ideal operating temp is for the DSG fluid?
