Good info to know, thanks! Along those same lines, then, do you have an opinion on the third radiator kit for the non-PDK 9A1 cars?

I have a 2011 Boxster S and I monitor the coolant temp with an OBD-2 Ultragauge. The coolant temps in this car vary as much as 20 degrees just driving around town, It freaks me out because my Toyotas don't vary near that much.
