Default Power Pipe

I'm thinking about getting one and wanted to first off ask, which one people wopuld recommend and secondly, what does installing one involve?

I'm also trying to determine if this is a good idea with the set up I have.

Yes it would be a good idea with the setup you have. You should see a decent amount of power form that and maybe a small increase in boost.

It's running hotter than it should, so do you think aluminum radiator would make more sense first?

Yes definetly. If you dont want to spend alot for a rad you can go with a nice copper one. They are alot cheaper and are better than aluminum. But they are black and not that nice aluminum lol
