Your question is rather vague. It depends on what manifold you plan to use. You aren't going to have to much luck running a full radiator with a topmount. If its a log style manifold you can get away with it depending on which one.

you want to run the largest aluminium radiator that will fit.
you only want to run a half size if you have to

agreed. Full size if you can. However, decide on your manifold/turbo choice, get that in there and than see what you can get away with. No point getting a radiator first.

I run a full rad with 2 12" fans on my DSM, wouldn't have it any other way. Unless i HAD too...

Definitely run the biggest radiator possible. I dont care what anyone else tells you. I ran a half in my Integra years ago with poor results. Switching to a full size made all the difference in the world.
