I haven't run it in a WBX, but plenty of race cars. Great stuff!!! dylan Frank Grunthaner <FrankGRUN@AOL.COM> wrote: Definitely not snake oil! Serious engineering, but significant mods to the cooling system are needed to take full advantage of the possibilities. I looked at this when I was studying the possibility of running the TDi engine at about 30 degrees hotter than the stock design. Concluded the additional thermal efficiency wasn't a good enough response for the engineering investment. The Evans approach is an excellent solution to cavitation problems and localized overheating points. Haven't looked at waterboxer seal compatibility of thermal stresses. Frank Grunthaner
