Default Radiator fitment issues!!! Need help

I need to know what full width radiator will fit in the EG without much trouble, the little factory 1/2 radiator isnt cutting it with the FMIC in front of it,

Gets pretty hot on warm days, Turbo really gets the underhood temps climbing

Cooling system checks out fine, New water pump, Spoon sports 160 t-stat, no air in the system, just a lack of cooling from the radiator.

Also, the cheap little aluminum racing radiators that you can find all day long on EBAY for about $140, are they just shiny fancy stock replacements or are they really functional??

Dont know about the cheap eBay ones but I would go with a koyo. I DID have to shave a little of the underhood bracing but it took like 15 min to do, wasnt really an issue. Make sure though that you get the appropriate cap too. The stock cap doesnt fit.

Do you need 2 threads about the same problem? Just go with a koyo, or a fluidine. I understand that you are on a budget but would you rather waste 100 bucks on one that wont work or 300 on one that will?

sorry about the double posting, i couldnt change the topic title so I just kinda reposted a simpler post

one about the radiator fitment rather than overheating issues because i know the overheating is because of the radiator
