Has anyone here seen the limit of the factory radiator?

Long story short the large dual core radiator with integrated oil to water oil cooler had a manufacture defect and failed. Because I "touched" it after they made it they would not cover it.

I just ordered a mocal/laminova water to oil cooler and returned back to the stock radiator. The off the shelf one is a complete fail in my opinion because it has 0 cross flow designed into it.



I was able to find a cross flow case which I would strongly suggest to anyone interested in a water to oil cooler. It was much harder to find than it should be. And a whole $9 more than the standard kit.




So. Just how much can the radiator handle? Can it dissipate the added heat from the oil and supercharger on track? Does anyone know any turbo guys having problems with higher horsepower?
