Radiator?

bah. some how my radiatior got a nice crack in it. so i need a new one.

yup! I replaced my radiataor with one bought from www.radiators.com and I was very pleased with product delivered.

And yes, the stock rad will work perfectly for your turbo engine.

Stock one works great. No need to get a bigger one. My temp gauge will never budge from 1/4-1/3 no matter how hard it's driven.

The best deal I could find was $119 shipped from http://www.radiatorexpress.com. I received it three days after ordering and it fits and works great.
