Radiators and cooling fans have come a long way. This, mixed with more technologically advanced turbos that stay cooler I'm sure has a lot to do with it. I laugh everytime I see a water-cooled turbo with its water lines not being used, that shit makes the heck of a difference. Air charge coolers (aka intercoolers) have also come a long way, and most of the times are cooled by the same fan that cools the radiator (and sometimes oil cooler too). The rest is pretty much left to the ducting, wherever the engine is mounted.
In fact, I dare to say that in many cases, people who change their radiators/intercoolers for a "high performance" one, they're actually downgrading, I say again, MANY CASES...
But back in topic and about this engine, mehhh.... It does look like it's a great engine and all, but I think Im going backwards and turning more into a purist, so Im just gonna sit back and watch you guys have all the fun.
