Need New radiator...stock or aftermarket?
I need a new radiator and was wondering if i should go aftermarket or keep stock one.
I was looking at the Koyo ones but damn, $450.00
Im just running the stock twins for now, and will be gettin a FCD to up the boost, so do i really need an aftermarket one? All you guys running bigger turbos are using aftermarket ones right?
And i was reading and it says the stock radiator has a transmission cooler built in it, so if i go aftermarket i have to buy a separate transmission cooler. true?

I will be replacing mine as well. I believe the Supra one will fit, but you'll need to change your upper radiator hose since the neck is in a different location.
I would stray away from the OEM radiator if your boosted, aftermarket should help keep temps lower. I forget if they have trans line fittings on them, I'll have to look into it.....although there's no need if your trans is manual like mine
$450 is pretty high for the Koyo.

$1600!!!! LOL your crazy...im complaining about a 450 dollar radiator...and your sayin a 1600 dollar one haha
Yea im auto, so ill need a transmission cooler too :\ and i found new koyo ones for liek 335 on ebay. but shipping brings it to like 380. i need it soon so ill probably just go with that.
Any recommendations on a good transmission cooler thats not too expensive?
