Like I've said..if someone wants to supply the IC's I'll do the test..
box_of_partS4 offered up a set of RS4... and Bonestock has AWE's..but we'd have to get Bones to pull them out!!!

Ah.. good question...
The car as apart in early July to trace/repair the coolant consumption issue.
The Audi Tech that did the install was nice enought to supply the fan, and the hairdryer was his wifes.
I asked about the condition of the cores when he took them out and there was little on no oil at that point. They weren't flushed.
At the time of this test I didn't have time to clean them because it would have skewed the numbers...
That said, I can clean them now and do the test again. Also, I can get my hands on another set of stockers AND another set of IPP's to cross-reference the data.

Another thing, is I would isolate the IPPs from the concrete floor... It might skew your numbers.
The Stockers have the rib around the outside of the end tanks which pulls them up off the floor.
The IPPs are sitting flat on the floor, and the cool concrete floor could be acting as an additional sink.
I really think we could deveolp a pretty good test with some simple constraints which would give some fairly repeatable results.
