Do you guys think running an auxiliary oil cooler would help? Maybe take a little strain off the radiator?
Does anyone has tried deleting fog lamps and re-coding it? It might open up some air to the engine imo
The engine is not air cooled, so you want *all* the air flowing through the radiator.
I think it is impossible for the radiator to have all cool air from the front as it is totally blocked by intercooler and a/c condenser.
You say the engine is not air cooled, but all the underhood temps come into play.
The weather strip by the windshield isn't stealing air from the radiator.
Removing the weather stripping allows for more air to get through the engine bay, and the radiator. Vented hoods rely on the same principle.

Have you removed the hood weather strip by the wipers and insulation? I found that will dissipate much of the heat. Also try wrapping the intake pipe above the exhaust manifold. Lastly, I have a modified street shield that helps with airflow. I ran my k04 car pretty hard at VIR for 30 min stretches, DSG even, with no issue.
