Not at all. You've got to think of the big fat intercooler and the aircon condenser in the way - the efficiency of the radiator is already quite compromised. Power = heat, so the cooler and more efficient it is the better for coping with making power. And it future-proofs me getting a bigger turbo later on.

Better solution might be to go back to NA, then you won't need the intercooler and so you can keep the standard radiator !

Drivin around on my lunch break with my best mate following me, and a tool pulled out of a carpark and i had to come to a complete stop in about 5 mtres, i made it, but then ended up with the front end of a lancer coupe wrapped around my towbar.
All the astina needs is a new bar, but my mates car will more than likely be a right-off. Not fun when he was only in town to get his mum a bday present.

Replaced the LED strip i was using for a high-mount stoplight, as the transparent plastic cover melted in the Australian heat!
Retrofitted a pair of LED circles for a Yamaha bike into the original housing on the parcel shelf. Much neater.

A paper envelope to send that thing was an epic fail right from the beginning. Seller should compensate you for your losses.

I will receive another in 3 weeks or so for $5, just gotta wait for the member on OMC to receive his sharkfin from the states. And this time it will be in proper packaging
