There is some room to fit an intercooler in front of the radiator. But thean the chargepipes will be verry long and diffucult to make.

Some one that has the same engine but running 380hp twin turbo has an custom radiator with the normal xr4i length but also experience about the same problems.
It is a case of checking everything twice that is involved with the cooling system. Water pump, Fans thermostat switch , Are the fans kicking in when they should, Water thermostat, Is the radiator completely clean , are any waterways in the engine partly blocked, etc etc. We are in Winter with cooler temperatures , what will it be like when there is hot Summer weather. Now is the time to sort out the cooling problems so you have no problems later on Best of luck!
