Radiator upgrade

Hey guys, would really appreciate the input in the following question
Looking to upgrade my radiator due to the car running super hot here in the Texas heat. I’ve looked everywhere but can’t seem to find a direct answer. Would any of those radiators have issues as far as clearance if I have the boomba intake spacer? It causes the intake to stick out just a tad more and we all know this car is all about right fits
Any sort of input will be greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance 😁

Check whoosh Motorsports, I think he sells some direct-fit replacements as well as an absurdly oversized one - no personal experience but I seem to recall people liking the mountune radiator, and I believe some positive things have been said about the mishimoto one.

I don't think your have a problem, use the 180 thermostat, and their is really no short cuts so call a lot of friends, i put the mishimoto in myself but it's always nice to drink with friends all the little plastic fasteners are a pain and break easy. Good Luck Dennis

Can confirm you will not have an issue running the Mountune radiator with an intake spacer.

JDG thanks for in input!

As far as the intake spacer, I did it combined with the throttle body spacer. And there was definitely a difference running them combined. Helped with some of the boost lag I had with the big turbo set up. And cruising speed the car just feels smoother. Kinda hard to explain lol but I’d say is worth the money if you’ve already done the big power mods. This just complements the bigger stuff you might of already done to the car

Ah, sounds like a good quality of life mod not really a power adder- thanks!
