I've never heard of any VW people of any kind running this RX7 oil
cooler. As a water or oil cooler.
I simply saw them advertised on E-bay and read up on them. When I found
one of these coolers in good condition in a wrecking yard, I bought it as
something to futz around with.
It simply goes back to my principal of KISS, keep it simple.
I figured a $700.00 Mazda cooler could be a good thing to experiment
with.
