#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.

nothing like driving with the windows down and the music low: i love hearing the turbo spool, swwwhhhttt!!!!

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.
