[QUOTE="static74, post: 15389754, member: 82255"] I have a few suggestions. First thing I noticed about your setup is your downpipe is completely free to heat soak everything around it, including your coolant hoses and radiator. You really need to wrap that thing with header wrap. I cant see any other parts of the hotside, but I assume its in similar condition. This is a MAJOR source of heat. Second, you gutted your thermostat. The purpose of a thermostat is for water to stay in the radiator to exchange heat, and then cycle the hot water out of the engine and cool water in. What you've done is prevented the water from staying in the radiator long enough to cool. I recommend you replace the unit with a 160* at the very least. Lastly, its been a long standing fact that nothing moves more air than the big ass stock fan. Many of us turbo guys trim, cut, move, and shuffle things around to accommodate it for that particular reason. This probably wont help you at this point, but its a thought. [/QUOTE]
