PPK2 vs CSF radiator
So doing a swap of a low mile N54T and was wondering if the PPK2 pack( standard on N54T) is better than a larger CSF radiator. There is just more plumbing, tubes and such that creates a more complex system. Also the cost factor goes up with the PPK.
Hive thoughts on the cooling front?

If I'm not mistaken the ppk2 pack doesn't come with a bigger radiator (none of them do), it comes with an additional small radiator on the driver side underneath the headlight

And a larger heavier duty radiator fan. While the additional radiator that mounts on the driver side front wheel well area is small, you have to look at the additional capacity of the coolant used in the system. I'd be curious to see some back to back numbers to see coolant temperatures of both on track.

Yep, I understand the contents of the kit. It’s the capacity/ surface area of cooling that has me wondering if using the ppk2 is worth it or to just run a CSF and not worry about replacing the old plumbing.
I’m sure there is more coolant used but I think that a majority of it is in rubber tubes and not much in the actual left side cooler. Just trying to see if anyone has tackled this scenario before.

Good to hear, got one response, better than none. I am thinking the CSF is the way to go. For the time being the stock oil cooler will be the start with the rad.
