The longer story is:
The stock cooling system is more than capable to manage a mostly standard car even when on the track in 35+degree heat.
That is provided the system is in good order. (Working thermostat, good fluids, radiator in good cond. etc.)
Even mild turbo setups work without a re-route (though i wouldn't do it myself).
Also, the effort to re-route an NB8B is higher than earlier MX's as it requires a change of head gasket.
If you were concerned on cooling your car, I'd just spend the $160 odd dollars on a aluminium radiator from ebay.

Another easy fix is moving the licence plate if it's mounted in a way that it blocks flow to the radiator.

It also okays reroutes on nb8b, but its better again with a head gasket swap.
