Default Cooling Mods

I turbo'd my S just before summer ended (I live in MN). I knew it would run hotter with the front mount intercooler sitting in front, but I still want to try and make run cooler before I bring the car back out in spring time. On the highway it runs around 212 F once its all warmed up, and doesnt really cool back down.

I know of the small stuff people typically do like fan switch, radiator cap and t-stat. There is a debate on hood venting going on right now. Mostly I want to know who sells a good increased cooling capacity radiator? If people have cars that run significantly cooler what did you do?

I want to install a
Radiator
T-stat
some kinda hood venting

Well I would imagine running a larger aluminum "racing" radiator and/or higher CFM fans would do the trick.

I think my friend has a Koyo radiator? and stronger fans and his can't get to full operating temp haha.
