Well done Looking great …. The good old days

I dumped the aux water rad and went to alloy rad. Repositioned the oil cooler and had a charge cooler front mounted rad .

Had no problems with overheating … it ran spot on in middle of gauge even with crazy boost ( I had over heating prior to ditching the aux rad and factory main rad)
