GEX? Do you know much about small claims court? Weber progressive might explain the lag. What size idle jet do you have installed in it? Or perhaps you are talking about cold weather, hmm? In the case of cold weather, we need to know if you have a heat riser setup. You need to solve the oil pressure problem. The four pass tube and fin cooler is useless for cooling. The plate style cooler isn't going to solve this problem either, though it would help with cooling. If you live in a temperate climate zone, a cooler installation is incomplete without thermostatically controlled bypass valve to allow the engine to come up to temperature. Also, a fan is necessary if you want cooling when the engine needs in most, which is typically when ram air for the cooler is not available. Fix/replace the bellows. Try using more punctuation in your questions. It would make understanding and answering them easier. Or, for self-help, the archives can be useful. The type2 archives cover a lot of common ground, and are easier to use (http://vw.i405.com). Eric Forsman Baltimore, MD ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
