Yeah, I have the stock intercooler. That will be next but here in Texas with 100* daily for the last month, I must get some cooling, pronto.
How hard is it to remove the radiator itself? What do I need to remove to get it out and the bigone in?
The price difference was tiny so I went with the bigger, perhaps not better but it will look phat.

Yup, it definately required a bit of effort getting that thing in there... I actually had mine done at a shop today and they drilled new mounting bracket holes on the radiator to get it to sit as far down as possible and it STILL pushes up the IC quite a bit. Yup, the radiator is just BIG... Anyone else have the Koyo in the car already? How do you guys like it? Honestly, I'm really not that impressed, but then again I don't have a real temp gauge, only the pos stock one.

Thanks for all the helpful info. I will be getting it mid this week. The install will be done by myself so I will let you know what problems I run into. My car has the stock intercooler so the rad will be installed on the stock position.

THe install shouldn't be that hard. I didn't put it in, but for someone with experience with the car it shouldn't be difficult. It's big but it did fit in the stock location with no modification. The only thing is, I do have the M2 lg and it puches it up so i had to take my hood prop off and stick it in the trunk.
