GTM TT: Cooling Upgrade Wishlist

I try to baby the car, so it doesn't see much boost with this kind of weather.

I'd like to upgrade various component for next summer. Please excuse my ignorance in regards to the combination and fitment of these components.

I may step up to a larger Setrab oil cooler and have it custom mounted similar to the picture below. With an aluminum undertray, perhaps it can be cut and ducted to direct air towards the cooler from underneath the bumper.

I know the GTM kit requires an OEM radiator for proper fitment, so perhaps we can discuss effective combinations for improved cooling.

Aside from all that, I would definitely try to vent the hood and fender trim to expel heat especially with the fans running. Don't forget, I'd like to update the software to allow the fans to kick in sooner. When it was super hot outside I lifted the hood and all that heat from the bay nearly burned my face while the fans were running.
