Jody,

What are you doing for the intercooler?

I had a custom A2W built to fit in the drivers front wheelwell. Still haven't bought a pump or cooler yet.

Do some searching around, but the Pierburg pumps are very popular. They are OEM quality and are PWM controlled, so they can be run at variable speeds. I bought mine from Tecomotive in Germany. It was delivered in less than a week. Let me know if you have any questions.

As for heat exchanger, I went cheap and I hope I don't regret that decision.

I was planning on using twin ZL1 pumps on my car much like Stielow did on one of his recent builds, but depending on your system backpressure a single Pierburg CWA100-3 or CWA150 might move just as much water as the twin ZL1 pumps while also taking up less space, needing less plumbing, and having the ability to control their speed via PWM input... and it would be cheaper too.

Based on tecomotive's page with the current exchange rate a CWA100-3 with connector kit can be had for about $277 plus shipping, and a CWA150 with connector kit is about $226... that's tempting, I might have to sell my 2x ZL1 pumps and get one of those.

Nice thing about the ZL1 pumps is they're available everywhere though-- dealers, Summit, Jegs, SDPC, etc. The Pierburg pumps do have VAG part numbers though for OEM VW/Audi applications, so they should also be readily available.

Sounds like the way to go pump-wise, thanks guys.

Sold our house in California and bought a house in Medford OR to be by family. Dropped the car off Dave May of Genesis Fab in Galt Ca. to raise the driveshaft tunnel before the painter gets the car. Did a great job, super reasonable, and whipped it out on a day!

I am using a CWA150 pump from Tecomotive. Tobias is very responsive via email in case there are any questions and the pump arrived in less than a week.

Jody, I saw this and thought about yours.
