Cooling Mods

Hi,

Has anyone tried installing another OEM Behr unit on top of or in front of the stock unit. Any feedback to how well it works ?

This is for car with 178mm pulley + ECU

The radiator is large enough, the 3 cooling mods that are most popular are
1. 10 degree fan mod. software change fan comes on at lower temp.
2. Thermostat. Member PTE builds low temp thermostats.
3. Intercooler heat exchanger. larger heat exchanger for IC and better pump.
And yes here is an oem large heat exchanger.

Is there any way to check and make sure that this mod is done? I recently had Mercedes do it and they charged me $50 bucks to do it. I want to make sure that it was done.

Thanks,

Ty
