Message	I swapped over to a TT. I've got the TT fan and a thicker radiator. I was just curious what everyone does to cool their car? The engine bay gets so freakin' hot w/ the turbos now, and I was wondering if anyone else gets concerned about things baking under the hood. I know turbo timers will keep oil running and circulating for a few minutes, but even then, my engine will stay hot for hours. After driving my car, I'll park it in the garage, pop the hood, and put a 16" fan on it for an hour or two. I'm almost wondering if I should get an electronic fan, or maybe steal the purpose of the AC condendser fan and hook it up to a thermostat.
