I ask because:
A) I have a DCT and in terms of cooling they are hampered in two ways relative to 6MT. First off they require additional cooling (through the radiator) for the DCT, and they also have another gear which tends to keep the engine more on boil all the time.
B) I typically will run in an advanced run group and tend to push the car very hard (sometimes too hard  ) |
Upper intermediate and the car has a manual transmission.
MHD for n55 only recently defined the tables for the water pump. Custom tunes are starting to be flashed that run cooler despite higher boost. I'll find out this summer how well it works on track. You can upgrade you're radiator but a custom tune that spins the water pump faster helps too to extract additional heat from the head...
Best bet is to track it and see what you need. You'll be fine stock though for now.
