87937, those with watercooler turbos

I was wondering if you switched to a larger radiator and aftermarket slim fans? I was thinking of doing this but don't think the stock radiator can handle the added stress of extra heat it has to deal with.

I think it can handle the heat.

Yes, I haven't noticed any change to my radiator temps.

I have a 160* stat w/ only a driver side fan (which is always on), and water wetter, and my temps stay between 160-175, and my fmic completely blocks the radiator and it's been 90+ degrees out.

If your cooling system is operating correctly, you will never even notice the added load. I am speaking from personal experience.
