I have decided to add an external Mo-Ra3 to the loop as the previous system struggled to maintain decent water temperatures. 2 360 radiators were definitely not enough and rather squeeze a 3rd in, an external radiator would much better handle water temps and keep the whole system quieter. A second D5 pump would also allow for quieter pump operation.
