White "Lion" Cupra - DSG converted track car

OK cool :happy2:
I mentioned that kit because it also changes the oil filter housing to the metal spin on type. This is because the EA113 oil pump has the pressure regulator built in. This kit moves the regulator to the oil filter housing to maintain proper pressure. It might be why you have pressure issues running a 1.8T with shaft delete? Maybe a full delete is the solution!

I told you, you're the car master and I'm anything but... :happy2:
I'm pretty sure that changing the oil pump will not solve anything, but my mechanic tells me that his solution with Suzuki Swift filter (allows higher pressure), Audi A4/Passat oil filter housing 06B115417F (it may have the regulator and that's why he is using it), 1.8T oil pump and balance shaft delete works and that I should've bought the OEM oil pump. So I just want to take this out of consideration. He will also check everything again . I'm now thinking that the oil pump might be too week for the extra radiator.
Because this is happening only when the oil is super hot and I'm on cooldown lap under 2000 rpms, I'll change again the oil from Motul 15W-50 to even thicker Millers CFS 10W-60 NT+, maybe it will help.

This little thing just arrived. It will be very handy to understand what is going on with different setups.

I’ve received some pictures, I think the new wheels look perfect on the car. :grin:
