Hi Guys

I have a question re the plumbing of my expansion tank on the Audi. So

1. The car is a race car
2. 2.0 tfsi
3. I am running a Davies Craig EWP
4. All heater plumbing etc is removed, so I just have head to rad main 32mm pipe and rad to block main 32mm pipe, pipework.
5. At the moment I have the standard plastic end cored Audi rad for an 8P 2.0 tfsi (I will get an ally rad like a Forge but lead time is long and it's not long to the first race so I need to rig this up smile )
6. So based on that>>>>


1. Can I feed the expansion tank from the bottom of the main rad exit 32mm pipe (Drivers Side) but before the Davies Craig EWP using an inline ally pipe with a port on it? So in this way its cold water exiting the rad but before the EWP sends it into the block?
2. Do I need any other pipes going to the expansion tank or just the main feed pipe from the rad? (Mine is about 18mm diam)

Cheers

You always favor mechanical over electric then? I read good things about Craig David smile and it's not let me down yet.
