Thanks jwick for the suggestions and safety wire idea. Almost five hours worth the work here lol. My safety wire might be a little overkill but I didn't want things

I used every bit of my 100' roll. I needed about one more foot to finish the last piece that ties into exhaust. But that didn't really need it anyway. So don't waste any lol. Thanks guys was a tedious job but worth it....

Would you recommend getting the CSF radiator with the BP kit? I live in Vegas so it gets pretty hot here, just wondering if it is worth it or not.

It definitely cools better. Unfortunately they have a track record for developing leaks. It's still the best option but not a perfect option. I wish we had a full proof radiator option. I guess I'd recommend trying it and see how the temps hold up and do it later if needed. |

I purchased a vented hood as an option of heat management. If I need the csf radiator due to constant rising of temps then I'll get it. But as is I don't plan to be in boost for more than 12 secs (1/4 mile) or a few minutes of spirited driving through the hills. |

If you do not plan to upgrade the radiator, at the very bare minimum adjust the fan settings to kick on at a lower temp & ramp up faster.

Seb will give you the low down on that and the fan adjustment may be all you need. I have been in Phoenix traffic with temps over 120 with the ac maxed out and my temps remained less than 240. In Vegas the most I see is 225 or 230. The deal is I don't bust much at in temps around 100 or above.
Also, I would go to the most unrestricted exhaust setup possible just to allow things to flow better. My car produces a lot of torque and even with a 3" exhaust I don't make as much hp as many do because my torque is hard to control. I don't mind because torque is what acceleration is all about but why not have both. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
