Default Keeping her cool

What's a winter without at least 1 trip dn to ECS. I had my Dewitts custom radiator with built in oil cooler installed yesterday to help cool her dn during the dog days of summer. It's way too cool out to see the true difference but the one thing I did notice, the temps drop dn much quicker after heating up a bit in boost (low boost). Yesterday was not the best day to try her out but the water temp never got above 190* and stayed in the 170*'s. It was a big job and Marc hung in there paying close attention to every detail Here's a huge thanks to team ECS for another great install. Barry
