13 would be ok for road use with a thermostat. would go bigger for track and still fit a thermostat.

if your getting a well set up turbo kit and drive the car on the road with the odd track day a 13 row is big enough. if you got on the ek9 forum theres cars running 350+ with 13row coolers with no probs.

13 row is fine, if its not cooling enough then its not in a good place, if it is in a good place then duct it.
ive seen 350hp+ cossies using 13row.

you should pay more attention to the water cooling especially getting good circulation around the turbo coolin system
