Default Cooling system

Has anyone upgraded the cooling on their cossie's? Mine is running alot hotter than it used to now I'm using a GT30. If so what can I do? Oh yes it's a 93 escort.

Thanks

A decent big radiator would be the starting point. Then a turbo cooler rad that takes the hot water exiting the turbo into the cooler and then back into the header tank. Sits on top of the normal rad. Pro-Alloy do the whole kit.

Airtec are also bloody heavy stuff - it's like having an industrial grade radiator strapped to your car

Is there enough airflow above the my rad to have much effect on the cooler? Not too bothered about the weight difference between the 2 mentioned, more about the job they do.
