- MassIVe “DTM” Conversion Video available at The Type 4 Store!!
The only Type Four conversion cooling system that comes with its own step by step installation video!
Once again Aircooled Technology breaks the “Information barrier” and Teams up with Bug me Video for an in depth look at the VW Type IV engine conversion! With this video the “DTM” is easier to install than ever before! The latest cooling technology, but what are you supposed to do with a video these days?  | |

| recently not much has gone on unfortuently, gearbox is all fitted up, fuel tank fitted and one half of floor painted inside , i have lost a lost of enthusiasm for it lately over a few months. cars arnt cheap it will be done sooner rather than later but im not cutting corners to get it out ready , don't get me wrong cant wait to be driving it again, still got a big list of things to get, like headlining , tyres, new discs all round with 5:130 pattern, spacers, new wing for the car, prob more to come aswell, | |

| currently the oil cooler mount on a twin port engine you have which comes off the engine block is off at C&T engineering to have new longer threads put in to allow me to fit a T4 oil cooler onto the engine. once thats back i can fit all the tinware back on and get the engine all back up together ready to be fitted. i gotta tap the rocker covers yet to for the oil breather | |
