Coolant and oil temps are unaffected by an intercooler in this application. I'm sure someone makes an aftermarket radiator, but I do not see the need. The biggest concern we have with F series N55 is the small stock intercooler not being able to keep Intake Air Temp(IAT) down. G-Plus has solved that for me and hard daily driving. I'll monitor if/when I do an autocross with this car.
in a different thread they talked about lag because of the intercooler. specifically the Wagner but i'm wondering if that's only because of the PureTurbo2 upgrage? i'm guessing with a stock turbo the G Plus should be fine? again, thanks for the reply. oh, did you upgrade any of the intercooler piping?
