There's probably not much between them as far as cooling goes. I've got a Koyo U flow and it works just fine for me.

Get a Koyo. $295 + shipping here: http://www.absoluteradiator.com/Prod....asp?idProd=17

It'll come with a little adapter kit to bolt it onto the stock radiator side straps. And aside from some foam tape to fill the gaps, it works perfectly with the stock fan & shroud. It went in very easily, and my water and oil temps are extremely stable.

I don't know if you have an e-fan or not, but some people have had problems using the corksport radiator with the stock fan & shroud. I guess it pushes the shroud into the fan blades.

Which is why corksport conveniently sells a new shroud to go with it.

Yeah, for $75, which makes the Koyo more cost effective.
