Default ‘09-‘11 vs ‘12+ coolant reservoirs

Next would be to change the radiator to something with a greater BTU output or cut/modify your bumper to increase airflow. I have serious doubts on how effective something like this is since a normal radiator already does this.

No out of the ordinary temp issues. Saw the GK tech swirl kit but noted that some people say the install/extra lines in the tight engine bay are a pain. Seems like pressurized reservoirs are much better at self-bleeding whereas non-pressurized reservoirs retain more air in the system (from my limited research). Explains why the GK tech kit is worthwhile on the ‘09-‘11 cars, but I was just wondering the complexity/effectiveness of swapping to newer reservoir style instead of adding GK tech kit
