    One question how efficient is the radiator with the big f*ck off turbo behind it
    If in doubt power out

    doubt it would affect it much at all, air comes in, once passed thru the rad would make a buffer between heat cumming off turbz and affecting the rad, kind of like those air doorways shopping malls have

    maybe while sitting still but even then no load on engine when idling wouldnt create much heat to transfer to the rad, then the thermos would kick in

    would be happy to be proven wrong for learnings sake.

    Seems ok so far, no big front mount in the way!

    The exhaust is ceramic coated and DEI wrapped. I need to get some better ducting made soon, but looking like the stock radiator with twin 12" fans will work.

    Are they locknuts or just nuts?

    Where did you get them from? The places I've seen only have the red and blue ones.

    I got the first set of black ones on the market I think, special order from japan blah blah. Also there are steel race nuts that they do in grey... I got mine from the Work importers from Japan.
