If it doesn't, I'm considering adding a second and doing a larger radiator.
All turbo cars get hot, i just don't buy the heat being an n54 issue. It seems to be more of a lack of cooling from the factory since these are not factory built race cars.
I'm already on complete m3 control arms, revshift motor and trans mounts, condor solid subframe bushings, condor diff bushings, bilstein coils, adjustable toe arms, all new bushings everywhere, and a brand new set of nitto nt555's. Hoping to find a weekend to take this car to the track since my m52 turbo e30 isn't ready just yet.

Nice man, sounds like a good setup. I was running stock cooler and BMS thermostat bypass. I'd say the stock cooler is insufficient on track tbh, after 12-15 min it's getting to 280* or so
