Default Ebay Aluminum Radiator

What are your guys thoughts on these? ?? They seam "cheap" for aluminum. I'm planning on turboing my B16 Next fall / spring. So I'd like to run something that can handle the extra heat and the blockage of cool air due to the inter-cooler. I know I could probably use the Stock one but the one in the car is in need of repair / replacement. So I figure why not upgrade

Thanks for your input
-Joe

Got a del sol dual core off ebay for $40. Works just as good if not better and not bling. Guess it depends on what you want.

I've been thinking about one of these eBay aluminum ones. The cooling and quanity of fluid that a stock eBay dual core radiator won't cut it for some. It maybe good for the street. I mean, thats what I have now but I plan on running track days and look spurts of driving that may need that added cooling from an aluminum/bigger radiator.

Exactly, I have a Stock Duel Core right now. w/ a lot of fins bent I'll be replacing it no matter what. My unwritten rule for myself is that when I break something thats stock time to upgrade. I plan on building this motor up quite a bit. So cooling would be an issue.
