Replaced radiator cap with an EVO 8 1.1 bar (16#) cap. Mitsubishi part# MR481252
Stock radiator cap (.9bar) part # MB660735 (cheap 1.1 bar aftermarket cap in pictures)
Replaced thermostat. 180F (82C) OEM thermostat. Mitsubishi part# MD315301
Ran water backwards through the radiator to clear out as much sand and crap as possible.
Power Steering Cooler to install in Driver's side of bumper ($40)
Not the best position, but it was the easiest and did not require mounting brackets
This allowed me to get rid of the OEM power steering loop in front of the radiator
