There are rounded nut extractors that you should still be able to use - they look like a regular socket with a left-handed twist in them. Some penetrating...

Replaced the coolant hose yesterday. Raised the driver's side with a jack from the front pinch weld, and put jack stands around the car for safety.

I had the idea to use rubber stoppers to plug...

Ah, now I see what you mean. Yeah, I don't see a need to loosen them. This installation video shows the two small bolts loosened, but when they actually install the MCA mod it doesn't seem to matter....

Not sure how he determined they're stretch bolts. The repair manual marks them as non-reusable, yes, but so are the bolts holding the subframe to the car and the nuts holding those trailing arm bolts...

I installed the GP Sports one a few days ago, but with the rainy weather I don't have too much to report.

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. They're often recommended for track work on a low budget, together with the SX2.
But OP already has RS4's, which fill the same niche as the RT615K+ of long...

Yeah, I'm not too concerned about reusing the coolant. Just don't want to go through the hassle of full drain and refill... I'll report back after I've replaced the hose.

Yep, looking at the pictures in the MCA site I tend to agree that it's quite a bit less than the GP Sport's 60mm. Your ~45mm feels about right.

Higher number is thicker, so 50 is thicker than 40, not the other way around.
A 5W30 will behave like 5 in cold temps (W rating is at 0 degrees Fahrenheit) and like 30 in working temps.

AFAIK the gen 2 OEM oil cooler is actually an oil warmer meant to eke out a little better emissions by warming the oil faster on cold start. The fact that it also acts as a cooler is an added benefit.
