Yer its just you

Here is a pic of a civic rad in a s12 engine bay, my engine bay





It keeps the engine cool, and warms up quite fast....BUT, i don't have a water cooled turbo. I could be really interested in one, would like to get the summer out of the way first and make sure its ok in summer temperatures as im not so sure.
