Default upgrade the radiator?

well im doing the whole turbo thing and im wondering if i need to/should up grade to a better radiator. like a koyo or fluidine(SP). and if i should get one that is as wide as the OEM or a shorter but thicker one. HP might be around 290s

You can if you want, but it's not needed.

I am running stock temperatures with my OEM radiator.

The only reason I see in upgrading is if you feel like you need something more efficient at cooling after your stock endtanks start to crack and the radiator takes a shit on you.

Also, keep in mind that a thicker radiator like Fluidyne will require slim fans to fit the turbo manifold and misc turbo equipment. Those slim fans are not cheap, btw.

Because of temperature increases you should at least have a good condition or new OEM radiator. For 120.00 bucks it is worth the expense.
