Exclamation 06 SI turbo kit

I am about to purchase the greddy kit for my SI. I was warned by someone that people are having problems with the car running hotter because the kit has faulty parts. Now is this normal for a car w/a turbo??? Or is the kit not a good idea??? IF anyone can respond to this asap I will be very greatful.
Thank you all

Jupe

Yes The Car Always Runs Hotter With A Turbo, If You Are Running A Turbo You Will Need To Exhaust, Make Sure The Exhaust You Get Is Specified To Handle Turbo Discharge.

I have full DC exhaust right now. Is there anything that I can do to help with cooling the engine besides radiator? Thanks

aluminum radiator w/ bigger cores.... maybe a high performance water pump... and then add some red line water wetter to your coolant.

well here is what i did but i don't know how well hondas do with this, i replaced the stock aluminum radiator core with a 33mm one added 2 bigger fans in the front, removed the front A/C condensor and put it in the front air dam at an angle and installed an electronic thremal sensing thermostat, which is designed to open up on any three adjusments i have it set on. Also i do not have an intercooler as i had bad luck driving my car up the drive way, this is why i modified my cooling system this way.
