The NACA ducts under the car sound interesting. With an air dam, I don't think they would help much, without the air dam it would probably work ok. I think the rest of your system sounds ok for your stocker. When you go to the stroker engine and more HP/rpm you should do the full flow mod that Jake recomends. It's an easy mod when the engine is apart so why not improve the oil system. I am using a 96 plate mesa cooler, smaller coolers may work ok but I got a good deal on this one so why not be sure you have the cooling capacity you need. VWs have been mounting oil coolers under the package tray for a zillion years, with the 96 plate and a fan, I think you would be ok even without the NACA ducts. I have the thermostat also, it doesn't make much sense to run a cooler without one to me.
