Headlight to headlight I/C or half the width I/C ?
Since putting the my ProAlloy i/c on, the temp guage has always been higher than it used to with the standard cooler on ... I know this is due to the cooler sitting right in front of the rad, with the fans on the cooler.
I was wondering if its worth either changing the cooler to the 2nd gen cooler, or changing it completely for the smaller cooler (see pic)
I'm sure the size will effect the amount of PSI each can handle, does anyone know the max of each cooler ?

Got a new alloy rad on there now (thanks to Dan at RapidFord).
The high temps appeared the day the current i/c went on (way before I had any radiator problems)
I think the i/c is still blocking most of the air travelling to the rad.
The new rad cooled the water down incredibly fast when I was travelling at 60, but the temps soon started to rise when sat still, or not moving very fast.
With the standard i/c the temp gauge hardly ever moved off the small solid bar at the bottom of the temp range.
I might put the original i/c on and see if there's a temp difference.
