when I got this car, they guy has it setup so it only runs at 1/2 of what it normally runs at on the tempature guage... IS this good?

ummm ya... what year is your car and where does the gauge sit now?

86-88 should be at 1/4 way up. 89-91 will sit 1/2 way up.

 

its an 88. the guy also said i should get an 8 core radiator.. there is either a 2 or a 4 core radiator on there now.. Do I need to get this?
he said i could race anyone on the highway if i didnt have one, because it could over heat.

I never had any overheating problems w/ the stock radiator. Now upgrading the turbo, you should consider a new radiator. But other than that, unless there is a problem the stock rad will work.

 

It has an upgradded turbo on it. someone told him that its bad for it to go high rpms for long periods of time... I think this guy is a wuzz kinda... and just trying to keep the car all safe and everything. im not really sure..

Ok, yes. A new radiator might be a VERY good investment.

 

Im the one that is gonna buy the car... but this is stuff he is telling me.. he had a boost controller. but his first motor he blew the motor, and after he blew the motor he cut one of the power wires.... so he couldnt over boost again..... on the new engine
