Here is the car before I parked it last year.

Needed to finish painting and wanted to sort out my cooling issues. No pics of my radiator set up, but it is stock with my front mount IC infront of it. I need a larger rad though, amoung other things, my car heat soaks so bad on a hot day. I get a couple minutes of solid power before it starts to heat up and bog.
I have an oil cooler, hood scoop, raised the rear of the hood slightly, tried running a little richer, nothing has really improved it that much. On a cold day its a monster though!

Thank you! I appreciate it, its been a great car. I`ve been running about 8-14psi for about 4 years on stock motor internals driven daily durring the summers, except this one. And besides my cooling issues, my only other problem is a second gear synchro thats starting to act up and some rust. Always kept the afr`s within reason, never bagged it too badly, ran good oils. I love it! And its rare, see a couple with paint and rims driving around, but non with cool custom turbos rolling around the city.

Runs better on cold days? Just about every car I have owned, takes a while to really get going in the cold.

I should clarify, I mean cold days to be in the 15 degrees celcius range. Not winter or anything. Hot day 30Deg C+ and once the oil temp gets up to 220-240deg F range its not fun, doesn't detonate! which is good haha, but it doesn't like heat.
