No a bigger radiator won't compensate for an intercooler. It will help if you have a problem with coolant temperatures but it won't stop the high in cylinder temps which melt pistons and show as high EGT's.
Wayne doesn't know what mapping actually is.
It's not a process to design a turbo. It's a way of checking a chosen turbo compressor fits with an engines pressure and flow characteristics. It's called mapping because you overlay the engines airflow requirements on a turbo compressor map. I've done the garrett T25 and the GT2052 for the 3B, it's included in the FAQ.
It's pretty funny that someone who can't do this has such strong opinions on it.
Mapping as a word does not apply to intercoolers because they don't have maps.
As Awill said above it's about choosing the compromises to fit your application. A large front mount may be perfect for a road towing vehicle, but it's little use in a mud truck.
