Is it 100% needed to run a thicker aluminum radiator for a boosted car?

Thank you for your help in advance.

The (civic size) PWR radiator and FAL fan works perfect for my car. Frees up alot of space and keeps the temp down.

No, I ran a stock (not oem but a stock replacement from the muffler shop) single core on my d16 and my b18, the latter running at 10 psi, no overheating problems whatsoever.

Next time though I'll probably pick up a 99-00 Si radiator since they are 2 row.

I've always ran an oem replacement and never really had any problems, plus mmost of them come with a lifetime warranty.
