> You cook an intercooler by going beyond it’s capacity i.e. heatsoak. Not a difficult thing to do if you just slap a big turbo on the car and don’t change anything else. Regarding the radiator, how small or thin is the stock radiator compared to what you installed on your Conquest to replace it?

starion intercoolers should be able to handle that quite well actually. they do a decent job. the cooling system on those cars blows. All you really need is a direct drive fan running off of the water pump 😉
