Questions: Half size aftermarket radiator/o.e.m on F.I. prelude

I've done search but no results regarding prelude chassis/engine using the half size radiator. If you're turbocharge, is it safe to use the half size radiator (even aftermarket or o.e.m) ? Opinion please.

the supports arent goin to line up but that's nothing zip ties can't fix. and you should be fine with a aftermarket half sized rad as long as u have a good fan.

thanks, I figure it shouldn't give you any problem as long as there's coolant. I've seen a lot of h22 swap civic used so I figure there's not a problem with it.
