The CVH was designed to run slightly hotter, but by the same token, it wasn't designed with the prospect of still having the original radiator in it (not in this case I know) 20 years later and with a full width Intercooler covering it.
I fly the flag for GRS Intercoolers, but I'm not convinced that an Alloy rad is the right descision.
i run the alloy rad and alloy FMIC and i must admit it is far better than a recored or new non alloy radiator as the temps are so much lower than any previous s1 i have owned. this may be because the actual sie of the alloy rad is much bigger than the siz eof the standard rad.
