So I've searched and not found any sign of folks going into the VW/ Audi parts bin for some of the things I've thought of.

1. Using a Touareg water cooled 190amp alternator in our cars.
2. More test fitting of possible oem brake rotors for brake swaps . used rotor from ebay or scrapper is perfect for this.
3. unconventional cooling upgrades like using a second after run water pump to help cooling down.

l'll edit this as I find answers and expand the random things I've found.

There is a reason that folks do not make their cars any more complicated than they already are.

Unless the design is so terrible that it is a safety or a reliability issue, or unless the vehicle is going to be used for extreme purposes like endurance racing, most folks are satisfied with stock.

Adding a watercooled alternator is an unnecessary complication.
Adding a second waterpump is just another place for coolant to leak.

One of the reasons that air cooled Porsches were so successful at endurance racing was their lack of water cooling.

Amen to that.
