Serious answer... Look for VW speed shops. VW Trends might have some advertisers who carry such things. Neuspeed maybe? Shouldn't be *too* difficult to find. And yes, you have the right name and concept of how it works. Basically keeps the crankcase oil away from the crank. Good for a 3-4% HP boost in racing motors. Don't build one (a racing motor) without one. Jim Arnott WetWesties Union, OR Bradley Flubacher wrote: > > I was told of a beast called a windage tray.
