I noticed a lot of people would do some sort of cooling upgrade as one of their first few mods. I was thinking about getting a heat exchanger but the guys at the shop told me there's no need. Its about 30-35 degrees C (86-94 degrees F) average year-round where I live and I've never had problems with the car heating. Its not my everyday-car and I only put 7000 miles the past 4 years. So I want to ask the guys who did a cooling upgrade, how important is it and was it worth the $?

It may not add horsepower, but it makes the car more consistent. And the price of the upgraded HE and the pump is very minimal IMHO...

So would this be a secondary heat exchanger or would you be replacing the whole thing? Im looking the cooling upgrade on Evosport's website and its $2500. What HE are you using right now?

Go with the code 3 Heat exchanger, it replaces the stock one with a larger more efficient one, and replace the stock IC pump with a CM30. It is worth the investment for sure, both will come out to less than $800 for sure....
