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

i know @
swift996 upgraded his radiator to a mishimoto, but i'm not sure if that was preemptive or in response to cooling issues with his stock radiator.
I'm waiting until November for my first HPDE in the BRZ, and will be running the stock radiator. We'll see how it holds up in the cold first, then if necessary i'll drop in a mishimoto.
