Default Coooling system prep??

I there any little things I can do to my cooling system to prep it for the added heat that the turbo is going to make. I'm not talking about expensive things like a fluidyne radiator or something like that...I was thinking more like a greddy radiator cap, or different antifreeze, or colder thermostat.

Will any of that stuff make a difference...or is there other stuff I can do??

Wire your fan to run constant. Keep your heater controls set to hot. I would keep the stock thermostat and radiator cap because if you get too low of a setting on the thermostat it might actually hurt you. The fluid needs time to cool down and if it's constantly flowing it might not have enough time to effectivly cool the coolant. The Greddy cap is the biggest waste of money I can think of. That's just as bad as the Spoon cap for $297 plus shipping.
