Default tracking turbo

I am planning on tracking my lovefab gt1 turbo s2k (408 whp at 9.5 psi). I was wondering if I would need any cooling mods such as radiator, vented hood, etc...for a track day (not really trying to set any records). Do you guys think I would be okay just going in stock everything and taking breaks after 10 minute runs? Thanks in advance..

i WOULD VENT YOUR HOOD.......If you saw pics of codys car he had 5 or 6 holes in his front bunper to help with cooling...I think a radiator would be a good idea....anything to keep the car healthy will no be a bad idea to invest in..

I read other threads talking about how you cannot track a turbo car and have it last as a daily driver..even with supporting cooling mods. Is that true?

so with an upgraded radiator, oil cooler (which came with the lovefab kit), and vented hood I should be fine for 15-20 minute trackin runs? (of course monitering oil temp, water temp, exhaust temp)
