Doubt you still need this, but for anyone else looking to do this here are all the part numbers that I used when adding the CSF radiator a few weeks ago. If you wanted to use the OEM radiator (99110613702) you would just get that instead of the CSF part. I bought the kit from FCP Euro and some of the seals couldn't be used with the CSF radiator.

1 Radiator Support Air Duct 9P1121291 $59.99
1 Radiator Support Seal 99110633701 $42.69

They are in the the thread above. Clamping the hoses and pre-filling the new radiator.

Quick related question: Do you need the 3rd radiator on a 2.0T 6MT that won't be tracked? I wanted it because it's 100F+ (heck, even 110F+) for months here in hot TX, but hope it's not needed. I'll always drive in sport mode, which significantly lowers coolant temperature, so hope that's enough on a hot day. I'd only run it a bit harder on mountain runs, but it's cooler up there. Hopefully the 2.0T has the same size radiators as the 2.5T and 4.0, meaning it should have better cooling ability than the 2.5T, since the 4.0 has the 3rd radiator. Thanks.

Just driving, it should be perfectly fine as-is. My personal threshold for oil temp is 115C, so if you see your temp creep past that then I'd consider the third radiator.

As a reference, I tracked my car (2.0L) in 70F weather and the only temp only hit 224F. I personally try to keep oil lower than 240F, but that's being very conservative. 270F is a typical upper limit with 300F being a hard stop. So even stock cooling system, you could track the car in 100F temps and probably hit that 270F oil temp.
