   any one have any idea where i can get a good uprated radiator from to improve my cooling.
   i have already got a oil cooler kit ready to put on bt i thought it would be a good idea to get the radiator aswel

   Is your car running hot?
   
   Too cool will cause engine wear!
   
   Make sure that oil cooler has a thermostat!

   Before fitting a new rad try flushing out the current one and refilling with the correct water/anti freeze mix!

   you should be okay mate. it wouldn't effect air flow through the rad
