I have the ac condenser, an oem rad core for my w/a ic and a 55mm koyo and run 210deg on 90deg track days 180 to 190 on 100deg days with the ac on.
i think that many of the problems people have are due to having air in the system with the coolant re-route system that just dont burp it out
Reading online now about proper burping procedure. It appears there is a strong probability I have done that wrong every time I've added coolant.

On my car with a reroute, I leave the car level. I pop the radiator cap off and fill it as much as possible. Then pull a heater hose and fill it till the air is out of that end. Then a turbo coolant hose and do the same. Then reconnect, top of radiator once more, and there is no air.

I have the oem ducting, i do have a large and a small spall fans on it, it may be wrong but i belive that the reason it does not overheat is that i have a small line with a 1/16" hole between the head front water neck and the line going into the radiator , it allways beeds any air at the top of the coong system into the rad where it can ho to the expansion tank ( i will get some photos when i get back home on Friday)
the turbo blanket is a dei aluminum ceramic aluminum material that i stiched together with safety whire.
Here is a flow diagram, i put this on Sahabs turbo car to solve the traped air on his coolant rr system and it sotopped having overheating issues, also put it on two of my cars with FI and coolant rr systems and neither would overheat on the street with ac or in the track.
No guarantee but it has worked for me
So as those of you who followed the "almost running out of e85 on the interstate" saga in the chat, I have had to drive the miata this past week due to the electric water pump going out on the 335i. I believe I have found the culprit. Found pieces stuck in the blades of the turbine on the pump.
So ... it dissolved? Dried out and crumbled? What happened to that hose?
It has some sort of hard rubber/plastic adapter with an O-Ring that actually attached to the block with two bolts. It appears that broke. I ordered a billet replacement for that portion, and then you can use the same hose with a clamp.
