Default Turbo and full radiator

ive been curious as to whether people think this would be counter productive or not. I will be running a ramhorn with a internal gate. Physically the radiator can fit, but i am concerned about the heat from the turbo soaking in the radiator.

I will have my components coated to contain some heat, but still i cant figure if it would be benifitial or not to run a larger radiator.

IMO, yes it would be beneficial to run a full radiator. Ive seen turbo setups where the ac condensor is in the same spot and still worked find. So why not the radiator too? Anyways the radiator will be at a higher temprature than what the ac condersor was at in the first place.
Better yet if you had a aftermarket engine temp gauge, you could find out for your self if it did do anything or not. I guess you could go with a dual core radiator if needed also.
