Lower coolant and oil temps indirectly keep engine bay temps lower, FYI.

Here is a short list of other ways to keep things cool:

-Larger radiator (keeps motor cooler)
-Upgraded silicone intercooler couplers, both y pipe and intake manifold, as well as DEI gold coating for them.
-Create your own intercooler water spraying system
-Heat wrapping w/ DEI and/or ceramic coating your intercooler.
-Higher octane alcoholic fuels like MS109 and/or methanol injection which also help you run more timing, and more power at same boost more safely or less power with same boost way more safely.
-Having your turbo ceramic coated and/or getting a turbo blanket. Both also improve spool a little.
-Getting a bigger turbo and running at lot less boost for same power, or the same to maybe more power but with less boost.
-Tuning.
-Driving more gently or avoiding driving on hot days.
-Make sure the tune that you choose preserves the factory timing retardation, boost reducing, power/throttle reducing ability if intake temps rise to protect motor like ours does. Just be slow when it gets too hot, but if so then back off a little and don't beat on it when it runs hot.
-Move to cold area like Alaska, Scandinavia or Siberia

We do not have our car's turbo coated other than what Precision did on our unit. There are dozens of companies that can knock this out for you if you require something custom or super special, we do not have a favorite.

I'm not busting your balls, Jaimie, but I did get a good laugh out of "avoiding driving on hot days". That'd sure be a quick way to reduce temps! :cheers:

Obviously that and moving were meant to be funny.

Route your HVAC to blow cool air under the hood and always drive with the AC on. lol!!!
WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????!!!!!!!!!

Well, in that case, you forgot removing the hood. Nothing would provide better cooling and airflow than 70 mph wind straight against the block, ha-ha. :lol:

For all the kids that ask why...#BecauseJDMYo.
