Seems like a pretty nifty idea, running a half size radiator directly on the turbo coolant drain line. It is where the coolant will be hottest and is cooled immediately before feeding back into the coolant loop. Installation instructions are comprehensive too.

I saw that as well on SBX website. Looks pretty interesting for sure - I do not have a need for this, or at least yet.. lol. but it seem like the best way to start tackling heat issues to me..

I just installed it when I put my MDR turbo in ill Post feedback soon. It sits so close to the turbo not sure how effective it is tbh we shall see. I ran my lines a little different and used the MDR lines and it was perfect fit

Oh sweet, you are running it with the CSF!

It is cool! I wanted to run this too… but it’d literally be 3rd in line for air behind my oil cooler and radiator…

Would love to see some real world data on this though!

yes! CSF kinda a pain to install the bracket they made for it sucks

Any airflow will help since the coolant in the turbo rad will be hot hot hot

Just installed mine, fits the pwr radiator well with their new upper bracket for aftermarket radiators.

This is supposed to prevent head gasket issues by cooling the superheated coolant coming out of the turbo before reaching the head.

Looks like a good option for those who dont want to go with the WOT triple pass/cooler setup.

I might still switch to the triple pass pwr radiator if needed

My car is stock. I'm hoping I'll be able to do 20 min HPDE sessions with this installed, using endurance 200TW tires.

Depending on track temps, good luck.

Go WOT/PWR triple pass w/transmission cooler & WOT single or dual oil cooler setup. You will not be disappointed. @siwelnosaj will take care of you.
