No, it's not a bigger radiator, the Chevy HD Cooling package is just 3 radiators. 1 main one and 2 smaller ones on each side. I highly doubt a V6 or SS will fit in the stock 2.0T location because of how it's sandwiched in there with the intercooler. Not sure how big of a nightmare it is to add this to your current base set up. I sort of remember reading in here that it was a pain in the ass. You might have to replace the main radiator for the 2 smaller ones to fit onto it. Not sure if the base model radiator has the hook up's available. Also, there are all of the plastic housing's and the break ducts installed with this. You might have to order those as well.

Mishimoto sells the 2 smaller ancillary radiators for the HD Cooling set up.

Looks like you would have to order the "lower hoses" from GM though. I don't see any after market lower HD Cooling hoses for the 2.0T, just for the V6. I highly doubt they will match up to the 2.0T. I'm not sure if someone on here can confirm this?

It looks like you already got the Mishimoto Intercooler. Maybe add their Oil Cooler as well for additional cooling.

I posted the only picture I have of my car with the front bumper removed so you can see it all.
