Default Which Aluminum Radiator?
I am considering installing an aluminum radiator to reduce the heat created by twin turbo set up. Who makes the best radiator and what is the cost?

Thanks,
The Big Dog

I have the spam fans, and the dewitts radiator. Perfect setup. Along with my mezeire, car stays cool in every temp. Even 100 degree NYC traffic.

would this help much in cooling oil temps?

my ttix C5 gets hot oil temps with coolant remaining constantly 20-25* cooler than oil.

any results out there to share?

Your best bet is to do a front mounted oil cooler. With the help of a forum member blownbluezo6 I built mine for about 300 bucks. It's almost identical to the one a certain vendor is selling for 800.

My vote goes to C&R radiators. They are some of the nicest pieces I have seen or install
