Default Uprated radiator options

Well this heat has highlighted one thing...that my standard Cq radiator is not good enough with a chipped 20Vt when outside temps are touching 30degrees.
Is anyone running an uprated radiator that fits in the same space. I know Dialynx do one but been told you need to chop parts to get it in so hope there is another option.
Is the Ur 20Vt radiator any different to the Cq? Also going to need to fit a larger charge cooler rad too for same reason. Just not enough cooling in these high temps....
Going to be a long list for this next Sorn period starting in October the way things are going. Doh!

Charge cooler is the same, I have just fitted a 50% more efficient water rad for it (full details in Audi Driver recently). Having also done the oil cooler now too I am just left with the main rad to change this winter along with water injection to stop the pinking on full boost. which should release a few more bhp
