What's a Good Radiator........
Well I screwed by radioator and am getting a new one. I am running 6.5 PSI on a t3/t4 OE Garret. Radiators.com quoted me 360 on a koyo racing radiator and 120 with an OEM replacment. Is it worth the extra to go with the racing radiator? I dont plan on racing, And I think stock radiator should be OK..... THank yhou.

I've never needed more than a OEM radiator. Maybe if you were planning on more track time than street use then an AL radiator would be nice. Or if you like the AL look and don't mind paying the extra cash.
A DelSol DOHC Vtec dual core replacement radiator for around $125 is a great radiator choice for the money.

I would err on the side of caution when dealing with an aftermarket turbo engine, even at a relatively conservative 6.5psi. If not for the sake of driving hard, I would get a dual core aluminum for those long, hot, southern, humid summer days stuck in traffic.... But if you really want to be sure I would measure your exhaust temperature and compare.

Re: (siis2fast)
you'll have problems running a full size teg rad on any manifold that doesn't allow for a/c... in other words, all the good ones.
stick to a civic sized. its plenty big if you get a good one and proper coolant
