Cooling and FI? I wanted to know who has upgraded there radiator,pump,ect...
It is the only part on the car I haven't changed and my car's water pump took a crap so I already ordered the electric water pump. However, i am thinking of ordering the LG radiator with the hard lines and also removing the stock power steering cooler (due to room from the incon kit moving the radiator back). And running a small powersterring w/fan cooler in the noise of the car.
With the turbos my car gets realy hot!
Just wanted to know when and who is running what? THANKS

The Evans pump is probably going to be a better bet for flow and taking the 10-15hp hit isn't going to stop you from making your goals. 
The LG, Griffin and BeCool are good choices to look into for a radiator. Stock fans with a fan switch should be good but you can look into packaging a dual puller fan setup from BeCool which repackages the fans from the guys over in Italy (whose name is escaping me at the moment). You could move some big air with those fans and a nice custom fan shroud.

Sounds good I will call in the morning and order the LG radiator and see what can be done about the power steering cooler. A custom fan setup would be nice if it bought me more room? And am running the Accel GEN7+ so I can control fans on that. I am a little scared about the driveablity of the electric pump and it is part of the reason I am lookin into the radiator stuff!
That power steering cooler is like 1/4" away from the power steering pulley! And rubs every now and then! And I have had isues of the steering pump burning up do to ?heat? or atleast that is what I was told it was.
