Has anyone used VAC Differential Cooler?

Hi everyone,

I am planning on getting a clutch type LSD some time this spring and I am thinking about how to properly cool the diff. Even though the finned diff covers are easier and simpler, I do not think they are sufficient to properly cool a clutch type differential.

I am interested in this differential cooling kit by VAC:



Comes with pump, cooler, lines, fittings and a thermoswitch which will automatically turn on/off the cooling pump.

Has anyone played with this or other diff cooling kits on the E90?
How loud are those pumps?

Those pumps are loud. We used them on our race cars for reared cooling but have switched instead to internal pumps. I think this kit is way overkill for a street driven car; a finned cover should be more than sufficient. If you were going to the track a lot; it might be a viable option. Just my 2c

Thanks for the input. Yes, I have been going to track for the past 2 years and I plan on increasing the frequency of my track days as I am slowly turning my 335i into a dedicated track car. I think I'll probably implement a manual cut-off switch for daily driving and I'll enable the pump only when going to track events.
