The radator is 12 months old, cap is good , thermostat is new. Before fitting the turbo i had no issues at all. Ive been told i need a bigger radator. Does anybody have any advice ?
    The age of the radiator has nothin to do really with how efficient a radiator is
    Go drive thru a heap of mud with a new rad and she could block up straight away
    How much boost you running ???
    Have ya tried turning the boost down a tad
    As mentioned 3/4 on a 20 year old guage (is the guage working properly ???) isnt bad on these
    Id be concerned if it went to 3/4 and stayed there or climbed,if it decreases then the cooling system is working,generally
    Why it gets that hot, well boost would be checked,egts checked and maybe a rad flush by a rad pro,hose wont do a thing
