Remember, this was likely designed for a zero pressure, reverse flow 
type system.
The  "Lurching Towards Success" crew at European Car / Techtonics 
cobbled up some
pulleys to over drive the standard waterpump almost 2x to generate 
the necessary
flow characteristics they thought would approximate a reverse flow system.
(Questionable IMO, but apparently it worked...)  The other thing they 
discovered in
their high compression motor with this coolant, is that they needed more
cooling around the exhaust side of the head.  They made special 
headgaskets with
some cutting around the exhaust side water jackets (seems odd again) 
to do this.
Techtonics might still be able to supply one.  If I remember, it was 
a copy of an
older Oettinger part.

The end result was that it actually really worked to reduce 
detonation in very high
compression applications.  I've been seriously considering using this 
in my next
turbo project...I've got the complete 3 article set from VW&P around I believe.
