POLL: How many boosted people overheat with stock rad/fan?
So like the title says, if your running an HMT setup with a stock radiator and fan please make a vote.
I have daily driven my boosted y7/y8 over a year now on the stock radiator and fan and have NEVER had any overheat issues.
EDIT: I should have added, if you overheat, please post specifics. if you do not overheat, no need to post, just vote.
NOTE: this poll is simply here to prove miro_gt wrong
enjoy

If your car is overheating most often it has nothing to do with the fact that you are boosted or not, 90% of the time the car needs a new water pump or is lacking coolant or has air bubbles in the cooling system.

Mine started to overheat after I installed a catch can, it was the weirdest thing. I went back with the stock pcv setup and a breather filter in the valve cover and it didn't over heat anymore.

I have always ran coolant to my turbo and it has never even hinted at overheating...I can blast down the strip at full boost, go into the pits and let it idle, and it still won't even get any warmer than sitting in the driveway. This is with an ALL STOCK cooling system.

What? Is that even a plausible potential cause? That should have NOTHING to do with it. I might be wrong so someone correct me, but I have a catch-can and I'm okay and I KNOW alot of you run them too without issues.

my coupe used to overheat on the highway with the b16/half rad. mightve had something to do with the dp being real close to it, never bothered me since it just ran a bit hotter when really flying
