Message	Radiator with a mixture of mostly water, and some water wetter from Redline (www.myoilshop.com). Then look into the Billion thermostat to help you run cooler. I'd also check all the cooling lines to ensure there is no cracking or pinhole leaks. As far as intercoolers go, I would kill for a set of ARC's for less than $1000 USD (SPL has them for around $2100). They would handle ALL of your cooling needs, because AFAIK, you're still on stock turbos, according to your profile. Other good SMIC's include Greddy, Stillen and HKS. Also look into water injection. Used in high HP cars to ward off detonation. Excellent longevity mod. "...Downpipes own. They own everything...anything...all there ever was and will be...they should be stock on all cars.
