I'd maybe wait to see if there is a problem with it first. The only time I see my car heat up significantly is during hot weather, going uphill, with the A/C on, under WOT and Boost. And then, to properly know how to upgrade it, you'ld probably want to see if the overheating is an issue with the motor running too hot, or the radiator not cooling the coolant enough. If the motor generally runs too hot, you may consider a cooler thermostat. If the radiator can't cool the fluid fast enough, then upgrading to a bigger one will increase the coolant's dwell time and should help get cooler water to the motor.
