Default B18 swap turbo manifold.. can i save my fullsize radiator?

hey guys im just lookin into see if anyone has done the b18 swap with a small turbo that has been able to keep their fullsize radiator?? im only looking to run a T25-T28 garrett, and max out at about 12 psi, so im not looking huge, but as you well know, there isn't much room to play with under there..

yes its possible to squeeze, Most premade mani just expect you to use a half rad so I usually make the manifold myself that way you know it will fit... Go with 14B at least

\/\/\/\/ Thats A HUGE Turbo squeezed in there back in like 02 haha

at least get a small t3, those can fit with full rads if you use the right manifold.

the reason i wanna go t25/t28, is cause i have a brand new, in box Garrett T28GTR disco potato sitting rite next to me hehehe.. and i didn't have to pay for it.. k well where is a good place to get a diy manifold.. im a welder by trade so it's not a problem making minor modifications, i jsut wanted to know if it could be done..
