Insanity-74
Chargecooler
radiator
pump
pipework
something to turn the pump on and off....either the ECU or a switch system

Yeah but you still need the radiator, pump and all that other stuff he was talking about. It's actually quite a bit of stuff to install.
BTW - I got parts for you in my garage, come by - bring $$$ wink.gif

Not likely unless you can find a place that will order stuff they don't normally get here in the states. Do you have AC? I don't see why you couldn't convert your AC heat exchanger to a heat exchanger for the W2A - maybe someone else will know why not or confirm that would work [It looks to be very similar tho]

I basically paid less than 200 dollars for my wt2 set-up. I bought trailor riggin parts. It runs like a charm. btw is it bad to have the pump run all the time? I just now added a switch, but is it bad to keep it running?

Trailor riggin. The pump I used a bait well pump, which has held up good so far. Coolant lines I bought from napa. I made a switch to turn the pump on and off, But I run it all te time while the car is running. Sorry for not being clear. For the heat exchanger, since I'm not using ac or my swap, I opted to use the ac condensor. It works good with zero leaks.

ok thanks again dude

IDK about that. I've kicked the idea of going WTA for a long time and so I always watch the FS and I'm sure I've seen the entire setup go for $400. To pay $350 for just the cooler itself that still leaves you alot of parts to turn this into a very costly setup.
I'd keep looking and try to find the entire setup if I was you. Just my .02

you can usually find the whole setup, IC, HE, pump and lines for ~5-600 shipped.

i wouldnt use the A/c condenser...its not made for water.

I thought there might be a materials issue there - that's why I posted it as a possiblity and defered to others. Thanks for confirming that.
