Default Improved cooling

I've just fitted a front mount intercooler and after a wee burn the temp was a bit high
Getting some fans on order but are there any other options for beter cooling?
Do turbo coolers work?
Additives etc?

Thanks

You shouldnt run it without a fan, if you space the bracket off the front panel the depth of the fan it will slide in, if not ring auto specialise in performance ford they do fans and they well priced aswell
